which is fine... they're actually really good at it. =)
But all the 8 year olds on battle.net also get into bickering fights with each other every single game. "u suk newb" "gd brwn is gay" and so on.
I'd just turn it off if I could but there's no universal squelch.
Anyway, it's a fun pass time. You can do a number of different things.
Option 1: Fight fire with fire.
Kid: u suk newb!!!
Me: well your mom was sucking it too!!
Kid: i love you!!
Me: damn right!!
This gets boring after a while. So then I came up with...
Option 2a): Explain that their insults don't make any sense.
Kid: your gay!!!
Me: You should really look up "gay" in the dictionary. It doesn't mean what you think it does.
Kid: ok nerd boy
Option 2b):
Kid: your gay!!!
Me: Er, how can you tell anything about my sexuality based on a game of Starcraft?
Kid: ok nerd boy
Option 3: Reply according to their grammar.
Kid: your gay!!!
Me: My gay? Where?
Kid: huh??
Option 4: Reason with them. This option is the funniest, usually. (This one happened just like this.)
Kid: u suk newb!! (I'm winning the game at this point.)
Me: Can you please be nice? I've been nice for the whole game... why can't you return the favor?
Kid: ur such a lovely human newb!!
Me: Do you play any sports?
Kid: yeah, basketball
Me: Well if you had just lost a game of basketball, would you tell the other team "ur such a lovely human newb"?
Kid: no, but that's different, I don't care about Starcraft
Me: Well it's not the game that matters... it's the fact that you're attacking another human being.
Kid: hahahahhahahahaha, lol, philosopher boy here
Me: <confused>
