this is the internet, if you're taking trash talk personally, you may need to reconsider how much time you spend online.

to answer your question: they talk trash because they don't want to feel like losers.

I know i shouldnt take it personal but it ruins the game. Believe me, I have played my share of online games and seen it all, but I thought KDice had a better maurity level. I am hoping that the trash talkers get weeded out as scores improve as I used to never see it on the higher tables.

* Why does it disturb you?
* Why do people instit on talking about people talking trash?

I just keep a list of trash talkers, good players, complainers, etc. - avoid games with the bad, and seek out games with the good ones. Not much to do beyond that. Also, if someone has already lost and is out, I usually bait them by commenting on how I am still playing and they aren't until they get sick of it and leave.

I complain, I'll admit it. I don't care. sometimes, people make stupid moves that end up (or used to) getting me killed, and then they get knocked out right after me, cuz the are stupid. But for now, It just sometimes helps frustration. I always apologize, or try to keep it clean. (And I acknowledge when I notice all I'm doing during a game is typing, and no one cares)

sounds familiar?
