You can't just "let them play", as the title of the post says, because they clearly aren't going to play -- they're going to club each other to death.

In those games, you have to call MORE rather than less until the worst offenders are out of the game or the players get the message and rein it in a little. It depends on the particular game, not the level of the game.

Yes.. I do agree with that. If they are getting to a slug fest you have to reighn them in but I guess I perceive that as controlling not taking over.
