Perhaps a referee would be useful, and a penalty box?
That was damn near a hockey game by the end.Report

Wow… they ALL managed to look awful there. Well done.Report
Yikes! I’d be so embarrassed. You have to find a way to support what you believe in without stooping to your opponents level or giving up from frustration and embarrassment. It’s hard to tell what all of this was about, but it went south for both sides.Report
