@Drako: I don't condone bullying. I was picked on and bullied in school some as well. I had a lazy left eye and wore glasses from age 3. The glasses caused my ears to stick out and many times I would go home with blood red ears from people thumping them. Around age 5 I started having to wear a patch as well on my good right eye to help correct the lazy left eye. I got jeered a lot. Its all in how we handle conflict. Certain personality types handle conflict better than others. I am one that does not internalize it, and will rise above it. You have a more fragile personality type. Nothing wrong with that. Seems bullying has taken a tole on your life, and I would suggest speaking to a counselor about how to better handle negativity. Sounds like you let it play far too big a part in your life, and by doing so you only give a perpetrator more power over you. BUT- we are talking about an online video game; where a click of a mouse can silence even the most vile of bullies, so start clicking. If he is blacklisted there is nothing he can say to you. If that isn't enough, then perhaps multiplayer games isn't a great genre for you. Trolls and morons will always exist, you have to man up and just deal with it. If you cant get past a 3d character in a video game, then real life is going to chew you up and spit you out. My point is that you cant always run for help in a given situation and expect people to go out of their way to take the bumps out of life for you. At some point you have to realize that you need to take control of your own life and happiness and learn to deal with things, at least trivial issues like this. Ive had people wish death on me in video games, among countless other silly attacks. This is just how these people behave. They will have to answer to that one day, but you can at least choose to stop letting them have so much control over your life. Ignore them and move on. Not everyone is going to like you. Realize that, accept it, and learn to be ok with it.
