Banter between players is one thing and that is fine but attacking the same player over and over is bullying, its immature and at the age most Mir players are it is a bad reflection on them
Also both parties are at fault here, both are just as bad as each other

I understand where you are coming from, and if constantly harassed in game and it becomes unplayable (for instance followed around and pk'd wherever he goes) this needs to be dealt with...
If this is just abuse, however, via pms or however, then the worst thing to do is retort in anyway, simply ignore it and they will grow bored.
As you say, both parties are at fault, and yes people are older but despite age people still have traits whereby they want to be seen as popular and/or funny and they see the only way of doing that is to rip into others, making them feel superior.
I've seen it countless times whilst out with friends at pubs, a girl comes over, suddenly one of your mates is tearing you a new one because he is seemingly wanting to impress the girl. A weak analogy but an analogy nonetheless.
Dante: in terms of it being different for a condition you can't help. I mean, yeah, sure, he may actually get upset at it, which he is allowed to do but seriously, i'm sure he has people in real life that have spoken to him about the condition and told him of the geniuses who are dyslexic, the stuff you can achieve. Why would he take offence to something he is branded with that puts him in the same boat as Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein or Richard Branson?
I'm sure he doesn't really take offence to the comments made about his supposed intelligence, moreover he probably just gets wound up about the consistency of the abuse and wishes they'd just shut up as it's annoying?
