Look, why do i (and probably most of the people) get muted for getting flamed by the team? They swear at me and telling me to commit suicide and I had to write something. So that writing went too far and i got muted instead of them. I wrote this after the mute expired because i got inspired to write this from most of the flamers my several past games.
No, you didn't need to respond. Not feeding trolls is the golden rule of the internet, and in 2018 there's really no excuse for not having that internalized. If somebody is antagonizing you over a video game, they're doing so to elicit a response from you. By flaming back, you're rewarding their behavior. The proper response, ever since the days of Everquest and classic Runescape, is to ignore trolls and mute them if you have to.
