I often wonder how old are people flamming like that.
Seriously??? Why??? Did you know what people love to call "maturity" has nothing to do with age??? Very few people change their usual behaviour through the years. They remain the same, especially when they are alone, with friends or with their family. Obviously, at work, they behave a bit different, but that is only because of fear.
Nice (or "mature") kids and teenagers exist, and there are a lot of them out there. And guess what??? There are also millions of adults that behave as assholes, because well, they have always been assholes. ;)
I'm still struggling to understand, even if the odds are 1000 to 1 against finding someone you want to talk to, why would you not take the chance?
It's like saying, you have 1 1/1000th chance to win $100, but it costs you nothing to enter the lottery. It's difficult to argue that your "time is worth more than that" when you're playing a game.
Furthermore, if you're actually ever going to practice for tournaments, which is something more and more people are getting into now that the scene has expanded, you're going to need folks you can chat with and set up multiple games against the right decks.
IF you are actually one of those folks that are truly thrown off by someone yelling or insulting them, even over text, then that's fine. I used to cope with intravenous drugs, so I can't really talk shit about coping mechanisms. But do consider all the ways that can effect your life negatively, and try to work on it. Preferably without the drugs.

Enjoying Americans winning in the Olympics is forbidden because it is political. A 14 plus page discussion of state-sponsored lawsuits against a multi-national corporation based on harassment, discrimination, and wrongful death allegations is apparently not political enough to raise an issue.

I agree with you, I know how different children can be, I was a teacher once upon a time (and also I'm good with science so I know that proportions of a character are different within different group classes). Where I don't agree with you is that people do tend to calm down while getting older (I'm not saying there are getting nicer).

I hope I can help you to understand. I always thought that being insulted was not a big deal, I never could understand people getting completely furious and violent because some jerk insulted them. But actually when being confronted with these guys on hearthstone I feel something really irritating, in my case I really want to give them a test of their own medicine by instulting them first and blocking them, at some point it almost became a game to think of how to punish the jerks while being nice with the good ones. You have a picture of Donald Trump, maybe like him you are able to whistand people talking shit about you but not everybody work this way.
Whenever somebody insults you, say "oh i have 80 quest, but seems I need to find somebody who is more friendly".
That's how you raise children.
You won't get the chance to reply. Your opponent will just un-friend you immediately after insulting you.
I've stopped accepting friend requests altogether. There are simply too many ill behaved, socially maladjusted children over the age of 20 playing this game for the friend function to be useful.
As I say, if it really bothers you that much, obviously you have a different calculation to make.
I'd only add that there are going to be a lot of instances in life where it's going to be very advantageous to learn to let that sort of thing slide.
I don't know if anyone saw this last week, but there was this woman in Atlanta who was approached about having too many items in the "express checkout lane" of a grocery store. Next thing you know, she starts this whole race hoax and has local media involved and talking shit about the guy.
I guarantee you that guy wishes he just kept his mouth shut, but he was apparently triggered by 15 items.

whenever I get a friend request after a game I wait about half an hour or even longer before accepting it so that the person will have forgotten their rage by the time they realize we are friends.

Yeah, but do you really want to be friends with the type of person who aggro-invites?

I always do accept FR. You can only gain.
Douchebags in HS = douchebags IRL = just unfriend those hollowheads if they did not do it yet after spilling all the negative on your head. EZ.

Check the trash outside your local hearthstone player's house they always throw the babies out with the bathwater
Those who are given more in life, must not cling to it, but risk it all at every moment!
Usually you understand if it is worth adding your recent opponent to friend's list.
Fun games for both players grant me dudes it list to complete friends' quests.
I ignore invites after non interesting games or the ones i do suspect in rage, this secures my spirit fine.
