How to respond to someone who is toxic

Depends on your goal

chess.com recommends to report and to block people like that

There's alot of things to do. 1. Ignore. 2. Fight (You have to be smart because of rules) 3. Nuke them.

On chess.com, I do the 1 & 2.

Thanks 😊

I like the nuke idea 💡

Why respond to someone who is toxic?

They're doing it because they WANT responses.

Just act and find the opportunity to roast them back? (Although this is the goal of what the toxic person is trying to do to you)

Well it depends not everybody is so perfect and they will get angry over certain things. Like me. I get mad and I may say some things. Its anger in the moment most of the time they don't truly mean to be rude. Example I'm mental. I can stay calm for a while but when the same thing keeps happening or I lose something I feel became unfair I speak up and my inner anger speaks for me. Internal rage. Reporting somebody for being toxic and with threats most of the time isn't the answer. That's what chess.com tells you because they believe you are all soft. Which isn't exactly wrong. However somebody who trash talks before the game started. That's who you report. Because that's just wrong. You can tell the difference between somebody who is actually messed up in the head and somebody who does it just... "because" Before I report somebody I think about how it will effect them. Is it really worth it because they said "You're bad" no.. not one bit. I move on, and I quit chess recently until today I decided to revisit and I already had an angry moment. It happens. I'm working on it. But like I said at the start not everybody is cupcake and rainbows and can take a loss like it's just a temporary thing. No its not being childish, it's not jealousy. It's something wrong with that person they can't always control so easily. So to answer your question to answer somebody who is toxic, if they are doing it on purpose just say OK or lol and move on but if they seem hurt... try to be understanding. That's the only advice I can give.

Fair enough. Besides, I don't really have experience around this topic.

😊 thanks
