Nobody's going to use this "calling card" to say "Hi Kathy. It's Grover. It was an honor doing battle with you." No. Players will mostly use it to disrespect their targets, creating a huge headache for FireMocha when the abuse complaints start pouring in. They are already getting tons of complaints about the obscenities in Global Chat. At least when people get nasty there, it doesn't remain visible for long.
The biggest headache with the battle log is that it's crammed with attackers against whom revenge is impossible because of online or shielded status. A note from the attacker will only make the revenge block more frustrating. It will do absolutely nothing to encourage more battles.
