how do you handle being provoked online

like there's times when i'm on youtube and someone replies to my comment with an insult or says something i get offended by, and i feel the urge to threaten them, but i hold back because i know you can get in trouble for typing threatening posts...so what's another way to deal with someone provoking you or offending you online?

How can you threaten someone you’ve no access to? Just block or ignore them.

Be a grown-up and ignore them. (Practise what I preach, not what I always do lol!!!).

In an ideal world I would much rather see some online etiquette of how to interact politely, even when there are disagreements. Sadly, it ain't gonna happen any time soon.

Remember the old childhood saying: "Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me!"

Good luck!
