[quote][quote]Hi, I got racist abuse through the text chat in game, preceeded by telling me to off myself. I see guidance on reporting abuse through steam, PS and xbox, but nothing for the text chat. I took screenshots of the messages, I just don't know how to report the player. Any ideas?[/quote] When I had kids your age I taught them how to deal with bullys. This included telling them that responsible grownups wouldn’t always be at arms length to lecture those lacking in speech etiquette.[/quote] When we were kids there was no hiding behind a keyboard. That's the difference. Internet bigots are just spineless idiots, but they still need to he shown there are consequences.

Although, too far the other way leads to a loss of freedom, often to such a degree that only one side can speak. If it’s only a person’s “feelings” that get hurt, the softy needs to learn to deal. Life’s hard sometimes.

There are many people who play that are autistic, have anxiety issues or other mental heath problems. So it could be more than feelings being hurt. I try and be nice no matter what Because you never know what kind of day that person is having. I know, I've been there. I just wish people were kinder to each other forvthe short time we are here.

We laugh about it, but I’d much rather address a point using hyperbole or absurdity because most of those holding fallacious opinions are either dogmatic or are expressing cognitive dissonance.
