I play TF2 on the pc, and I get the feeling that a lot of the younger players say shit just for the thrill of being able to say it and not be disciplined.

I’ve heard someone try the ‘What if I told you I was….’ trick. Unfortunately it had a rather opposite effect, with even more players joining in to taunt, which is kind of amusing in an ironic way.

But in your example the guy was just being a complete ass, personally, I think you should have either called him out on it, or made an excuse and quit the game.

I’ve regularly deleted people on my friends list for bigotted remarks, its a particular bugbear of mine and my general closing remark before I do so is that they’re entitled to their opinion and I’m entitled to not have to listen to it.
