They're not worth getting mad at imo.
This.
I have a bit of an odd approach with people like this. Though there are some nasty trolls out of the bunch (I seemed to come across them more in Gilga than here, oddly,) generally, they're just people kind of screwing around on the internet too. It's always good to remember that. Generally the more of a rise someone gets, or the more that happens, the more it draws someone to be around.
I'm not always IC, and I spend a lot of time up in the wee hours, usually spacing out. Perhaps I've an odd approach. I've noticed the people occasionally dipping in and out of some areas, maybe being a little abrasive. I went out of my way to humour them, and get to know them a little, too. Found they're not all that bad to talk to OOCly, made them a few things, just generally shot the shit. Added a few on a friend list.
I've never had an issue with people like that (in that main group) since holding out an olive branch. Most of the time, it's that wall or the combative nature that encourages people to be terrible (on both accounts.)
As said previously, a little kindness (usually) gets you further than anger. Mind you, there will ALWAYS be the deviants, the lone sort, but typically, people who are of a large group, just enjoying a server in their own way, aren't going to look to cause a war.
