Its actually not hard for me to do, I guess you just use your head or gut and go on the attack.
What if i don't know how to attack properly?
Keep your mouth shut. That's meant to be advice rather than an insult. It's better, as they say, to be thought of as an idiot, than speak and remove doubt to the contrary. I believe that was attributed to Abraham Lincoln. So, Unknown, if you're in doubt about the attack, then don't, or you may make things worse. Much worse.
It's hard to tell indirectly, as there are no body language cues to pick up.....
When did i say he insulted me? huh? so you shouldn't jump to conclusions or you'll have a lot more enemies.
Back to topic,i know it was an attack,i don't know how to respond,want me to give you the example?
Oh wait what does that abe lincoln thing mean?
I was saying my advice to shut your mouth wasn't an insult. As for jumping to conclusions, Unknown, that's pots and kettles. The Lincoln saying means that you can either shut up and let people
think you're an idiot, or you can say something, and have people
'know' that you are one. It basically means, consider your words very carefully.
If you know it was an attack, the best scenarios are:
A. Report it to authority (ie, Mods)
B. Keep quiet about it.
C. If you really have to launch an attack, make it very witty. You have heard of the saying (related to the Lincoln saying) that 'empty vessels make the most noise'? If you really need to do anything like an attack, make your opponent seem like the empty and noisy vessel.
