Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Yeah I think they just meant the turn of phrase to be: "worse still" or "and on top of that".
PS:
I'm still not making sense probably.
I think they meant it like
Disorder is bad but the combination of disorder PLUS people chirping is even worse.
E.g., it's bad enough I smashed my foot dropping a brick on it but on top of that I stubbed my toe, too.
Smashing my food is bad but even worse is [also] subbing my toe [on top of the already smashed foot]
