Anyway, the point of that ramble up there is that if someone is level 80, on the same server as you, and on as often as you are, and they're trying to imply your life is in any way lacking something, they aren't worth the time it takes to LOL at them.
It doesn't bother me because I know that they don't really believe it, they're just hoping to get a rise out of you.

As for chat channels, I turned those off four years ago, after about 10 minutes of reading it. There was nothing that I wanted to read, and it would just get in the way of the stuff I did want to read. I have yet to have any reason to miss any of the chat channels. I know that some people keep Trade on, but what has happened is that the retards who infest General chat have moved into Trade because they know they can cause even more annoyance there.

Other than that, I am really REALLY good at ignoring people. And I don't mean adding them to my ignore list or using an addon to block them. I just read their first message and if it's not worth my time, I do not reply. Very few people will carry on after two or three attempts without a reply. They are trolling for a reply and to have some fun at your expense or to puff up their ego by "showing that kid who is who". When they don't get a reply, they lose interest and go find someone else. The only time I'll do anything is if they're stupid enough to swear at me, at which point I still don't reply to them, but I will report them. That has to piss them off more than I can even imagine.
