"Take it easy on me"

How do you respond when a lower rated opponent chats "take it easy on me"? I've had this happen both in live chess and CC. I have never responded, I just play the game. I can imagine some responses, "This is a rated game, we'll both do our best" or "lol" or "I intend to squash you like a bug!" How do you respond?
This is your opportunity to help your fellow player. Help him/her out a little, its a gift to your opponent and to you.

Give them a handicap, but don't give them the game.
Bloody hell mate, take it easy. I thought being the kid was already the handicap? What do you suggest? Wrist burn, eye gouge, broken arm?
Hehehehehe! I believe he was thinking more along the lines of wheelchair.
