Like everything, it depends on the situation. If it is excessive and abusive the player needs to be reported.

Too focused to pay any attention to them, and too slow of a typist to respond.

It's not necessary, I think it's a lack of respect for the person we're playing, there's no need in my opinion.

I do not understand these people.In many cases, they insult others because they have lost and cannot accept it.Poker is not for everyone.

I don't care about it and for these I simply block them. I don't talk to food.

On 888poker there are built in insults like throwing poop or tomatoes at other players.

I like it.

I can see someone throwing and insult in some extreme situations, I've been guilty of doing that myself. It makes me feel like crap afterwards because at heart i'm a sportsman about the game. I will usually apologize to all at the table after i calm down. It happens. If a player constantly insults other players I consider the player a Bully and would like to ask them out back in the Ally and give them an Insult 🥊 , Or its part of the players Strategy 🗣️ to anger and distract others from there game.
Call me old fashioned but i believe there should be a considerate level of Sportsmanship in the Game of Poker. I think the majority of players i'm around do have the spirit of Sportsmanship. Greed/Winning at all cost attitudes can cause insults and at the same time ruin a players reputation and lose others respect. ✌️✌️

Pretty much ignore them, especially when someone complains about a play in a freeroll.

Insults are a sign of an opponent out of balance and emotionally disturbed. This works against him. Sometimes I deliberately praise him and say silly things like “everything is coming up roses for you.” This will often get him even more angry. Mostly I don’t engage in chatting though.

It doesn't affect me, but I think those players should be sanctioned. It's totally unsportsmanlike behavior.

does it even exist anymore ? partypoker maybe ? I used to report really nasty people in chats. I think they only got muted for a while but it must at least make them consider being civil.

I am thinking to go back to PP. I hope they still have SNG's.
