So, I play on the showdown main server a fair bit for some reason and most people are pleasant enough. Usually my interactions will consist of only a GG at the end of a battle. Sometimes people talk a bit more but most of them are pretty nice.
Then you get the 10% or so of people who are complete jerks. For example, just before writing this I was doing an OU no mega battle against one of the loveliest people I have ever met.
When he got burned by flame body he asked me to die of cancer. Whenever something bad happened to him he abused me with a ton of F words. When my icy wind missed he said I sucked and should go kill myself and I won't even go into what happened after I beat him with 3 pokemon left.
This isn't exactly unusual behavior on the main server.
So I'm half tempted to stop using it. These idiots ruin it for all of us.
So do you guys have similar problems with the server. If so how do you deal with them.
P.S Not sure if this belongs in trainers journal, wasteland or pokemon fan club. Apologies if this is the wrong place.
