I need some opinions on an issue

I find it amazing(not in a proud way) that you would continue to talk to this fellow and not move on.

Just think of it in real life. If someone made rude comments would you walk up to them, knowing a fight could happen. Walking away, or "telling on them" is a better way to go.

I find it sad that the people I usually think of as mature are the people who like to continue on in a rude conversation than, (A)Ignore the person, (B)Walk away, (C)report, etc...

And then to have someone TP to help you is... well, you really shouldn't try to discipline others in the game. That's up to the people that run the game, not other gamers.

May be my opinion, but would you rather walk away after reporting the person? It saves you some much finger energy in the long run.

I have since implemented responses to such issues and we primarily ignore such behavior in the future. Still, I thank those who took time to give advice and helpful ideas.

The issue never dies really - I think it just has its cycles.

Many time I think we've all played and run into rudeness, and many times we've just walked / TP'ed away - but to *never* feel fustrated after many, many times of running into these people I don't think is reasonable. There comes a day sometimes you just hit a point where "why should I be the one who walks away? why can't THEY get a taste of it back?". Thats why I never look down upon a pirate who almost never loses their cool but once they took a little action? I think its only human nature to strike back after so long.

If it was done often - then sure - your no better than them for looking for trouble to cause trouble of your own... but as discussed these players are in the game, getting them out is almost impossible, and if 99% of the time you report and walk and you only react 1% (or less) - I think that makes you human - not a bad person

Just ingore it and let them go there own way. When they said Shut up Eliza, you should have just walked away. Cause all that is going to happen if you are rude is, a bigger fight will break out for no reason, those pirates obviously arent worth the time. So next time this kind of thing happens just ignore the situation.
