Solution: offered to Google or suggested you do it

Also don’t be coy. You are well aware that is an insult. If you’re not, then I question your perspective on any other interaction

See thats where Im confused, I didnt even insult anybody. But you're just gonna claim a Buzzword is an Insult, even after I explained How I used said "Buzzword".
Pretty Crazy Man XD

“Baby gamer rage”. That’s your insult. I don’t know why you insist on playing these games. When you point at a side you disagree with and insult the maturity of their actions in this way.

Just saying, you aren’t Mr take the high road while passing judgement

It wasn't even an insult. It was a Question, and you are insulted by it. And now you think Im playing a game, and there was some High Road.
You are just to much XD

Ok, Im just wasting time and Post limits on this. Nothing Productive here, just going in circles which is a shame.
Just apparently me saying anything is an Insult, Which has me Dying of Laughter.
Alright, you have a good Day/Night.

No you only do that online because you don’t see the person behind so it’s easier to take out your anger but you can literally never know who is behind the screen.
Could be a kid, could be an older person, could be someone that just witnessed a hard life event, there’s no need to try to raise your low self esteem by acting tough and non “soy” to strangers online.

It’s not your job to teach them how to play, but you can remove yourself from people and situations that make you angry.
I too encountered my share of underleveled gray armour tanks who refused to use CDs and I do tell them that under these conditions, keeping him alive with wall to wall pulls is proving very difficult, but people usually either take it nicely back or they blame it on me for not healing them when one hit literally kills them and I could easily lose my s*it on that but it’s just not worth it, I know my actions, I looked hard over my job and I tried to help him, if he doesn’t want the help, me risking a ban is not worth it. If someone’s play style bothers you that much then just find a different party or learn some patience for your own good first, and theirs second, it goes hand in hand. Obviously this won’t get anywhere on a troll thread but eh.

So if someone is shitty to you irl do you just nod and smile? Or do you say something? I wont enable anyones bad behaviour ingame or out. I am more than willing to tell a person at a store they are being shitty, which I am sure other customers and cashier will agree with. It sounds like you enable bad behaviour everywhere which isnt healthy. I also dont think many people are yelling at anyone ingame. They type out a sentence without caps teling the person they are doing something wrong. If they take it that badly then they are being sensitive and not wanting to get better which in that case no one is required to carry them through any content.

No. They don't. They take that behavior and ramp it to 200% and now it's directed at you. I'm never going to see them again. I remove myself from the situation and it is over and done with immediately.

In situations like the one you're describing, I tell myself "Is this worth confronting them about?" Often, it's not, because people who act out typically want attention.

Like water off of a duck's back, they say.

Light hearted banter is best served among people you already know.

If I'm in a duty roulette with strangers, the only humor I'm going to use is of the self-deprecating kind if I'm the one that screws up.

Where is all the testosterone?

Hmm I’d say ok boomer, but not sure this post deserves even that…..

Way I see it if someone is doing something to the point another person tells them they are horrible and need to self delete. Report and move on, if it is happening often still report but it is time to start reflecting on what or what you may not doing.
