Getting tilted at users commenting "haha" after winning

I get a fair amount of users in bullet (other formats not so much) writing "haha" or "lol" after winning, and just that - no follow up to make me believe it's not taunting. So I get that I suck at chess but honestly, hearing someone mock me for it makes me feel kinda sad.
AITA if I report these? Feels pretty minor compared to some of the creative insults I receive and not sure if it actually does anything.

I think it's fine if you report them for rudeness... but it doesn't make you feel any better right? I think it's better to disable the chat.
You just ban them. This place has supposedly one million users. Adding a few thousands or even a few hundred thousands into your banned list is not gonna make any difference.

over 60 million accounts to be precise

Depends a little on the format and time control. The more niche, the fewer different people. I usually play 3 min unrated blitz, and you run into the same people frequently. So I definitely block people where warranted and it presumably makes some difference. I guess I leave the chat on in some hope that someone will say something remotely interesting, but that only happens about 1/1000 games. Not that there's really time to type in blitz.

Okay. When I login, it says one million people online. That's where I get the one million number from. I stand corrected.
Use it as a stimulus to try to improve. My rating just slipped 100 points in a day and it's a completely different sensation, playing people around 1600. In some ways, more enjoyable. But they're far more likely to abort or switch off if they're losing. A little further down, they're more likely to taunt. It's just youthful lack of confidence.
Just return the lol or haha by typing it back, for example when the russians expel a few british diplomats, the prime-minister instantly expels a few russian diplomats and sends them packing back to moscow.
tit for tat is the right move.
You should turn off the chat. Unfortunately, many people get mad when they're winning or losing.
No don't turn off chat because of a minority you might miss the chance to make a new pal.

I see it once in a while, but don't really see the point. At the end of the day, they're talking crap over...a game of chess? weird
Yeah if it gets on your nerves than you should expose yourself to it more untill it doesn't bother you, not avoid it.

Or just people being rude, which is one of the hallmarks of the player pool in this community. Rude, "in your face", obnoxious players...
I was just on the forum about saying gg. I think that gg should be respectful. However, saying haha after you win is just rude, obnoxious, annoying.
