I remember being taunted by a guy on the other team constantly. I was having a bad round and every time he killed me he'd type in insults.
Then he was on my team next round and I got in the chopper as his gunner. First he tried to be a spastic and was wheeling through the air and looping it.. I calmly asked him to fly. Eventually (after three minutes or more) he did.
Oh BOY could he fly well.
So, inbetween racking up an awesome amount of kills through TV and machine gun I kept typing in things like "holy shit man, it's not a surfboard, take it up!!" and "that's a wicked trick, you sure can fly for an arsehole"...
this went on for another ten minutes until he joined my squad and started comms with me.
I was straight up with him.. "mate you're an awesome player and a fantastic pilot but there's no need to be such a wanker about it". Turns out he was 20 years+ and had been playing since the morning and his eyes were almost bleeding. He apologised and we carved it up in the chopper for the next three maps.
The lesson being, don't let dickheads get to you. Don't immediately spaz out and froth all over your computer screen, try being nice first.. use tact, use diplomacy.. effectively kiss their arse. It results in you having an improved game experience and is also a talent that will get you far in life as well***. People who taunt WANT you to react, they want to make you lose it. This is because they are raving maniacs with overblown egos and incredibly teeny-tiny penises.
Get them onside to get what you want.
Now watch as some prick neg karma's me with the message 'stfu fag no0b loLlooLloL'.
*** - arse kissing is not the talent that takes you far in life, it's being able to get what you want from morons that will do it.
