Rude behavior in chat



Somebody I know calls these idiots Keyboard Warriors because they're rude whilst at their keyboard with no consequences but face to face it would be a different matter. You wouldn't get this OTB at clubs, tournaments etc. I think they do it because they are rubbish at chess and try to put you off (obviously worried). Do as I do and think I'm going to kick their behind with good chess. I did it yesterday and they actually responded after saying all sorts of nasty things "now don't I look stupid" after I beat them :-)


why bring up an 8 year old thread???
either way even assuming block and report doesnt exist why do u care so much about rando comments
its just a random person insulting you, it could just be the fact im emotionally insensitive but even if he has anger problems, it doesnt mean you let it transfer to you? most of the time when players are toxic the best approach is ignore or troll, angry players are often stupid and easy to troll



I wasn't responding directly to you, if I had been I would have used the quote function.
Of course, maybe you weren't responding directly to me, I just assumed that you were.
I am curious though, if you aren't reporting, how are you addressing accusations? Are you engaging with the offender? That's where my suggestion of ignoring them comes in to play.

It's pretty rare when I get anyone less than cordial. There have been a few times where I voted 'not a good sport' and did block one or two guys. I had one guy getting into all kinds political conspiracies about my country, and another guy started calling me names because he was losing. Called me a fat American, a cheater, and some other weird insults that didn't make sense. If you remember the whole Kim Jong Un calling Trump a 'dotard'. It was kind of like that. Insulted me with obscure words that didn't make sense. Just weird and a bit comical.
