Turn your chat off so that no one can get you angry or frutrated. You are there to play a game for starters and possibly win some money. If you are playing just to have a chat play with fun money. Not that this will guarantee you, you wont find another moron like this one

I can take a lot when it comes to insults at the virtual felt, but there is one player at 7stud that I had to block his chat because he really got under my skin. Only once did I report abusive chat, and the funny thing was that I was not the target! One player on PP was so vicious and over the top towards someone else that I copied the chat into an email and sent it to support. In the online world people sometimes feel free to let loose in a way they would not dream of in real life....

you would like to hope mahdrof but i suspect most of the abusive ones are just letting their hair down online.
Fact is there is poker ettiquette. We all laugh about slow rolls but have it happen when you got 600$ on the line and 30$ in ur pocket and ull wanna slit a throat. People who flame others online are losers. We all do it but its our least desirable trait when we do. I dont think it's the companies job to enforce polite play although they have taken up the task to protect some of the more vulnerable types.
We should all take this time to make a late ny's resolution. Cut down on the abusive chat. Donkey even. I do enjoy a obv flamer going off but deep down you know hes pissed and hurt and only acting out in frustration. Agitating although very fun can only add fuel to the fire. so at least save the good ones for Final table to tilt em good at the right time lol jk.
