As people have said earlier, there are too many arguments in the chat, giving more situations for such vitrol to be thrown around. At this point, it feels like you've abandoned the idea of keeping chat calm and free of conflict, and are now simply playing damage control.

"If everybody is going to be getting in fights, let's make sure they're using the right words." <== I don't think this is how the situation should be looked at.

"We have to figure out why conflict is so prominent in chat and work on people being nicer to each othere." <== I think this is the bigger problem.

Mods themselves do little to help this. When I have trouble understanding things, or have an adamant opinion, I've actually been called out by mods as being "dense" or "stupid". When mods are insulting users, it becomes glaringly obvious that nobody really cares about what's going on in chat, and this attempt at political correctness is some half-assed damage control when a fight got bigger than usual.
