It's easy.  Stop being verbally violent towards people regardless of what they do and how newbish they are. 

For me, I get irritated by a lot of players in WoW - trade, general, LFG, raids, parties, etc, etc, etc.  What do I do?  Block them.  What else do I do?  Avoid them.  Do I ever defend myself if I've been wronged?  Of course!  But you will rarely see me swear or say a bunch of crap to try to piss people off.

There is obvious aggression and there is tact.

One more thing, when you subscribe to WoW, you become a denizen of a dictatorship.  Blizzard is emperor.  Its GM's are the judges, jurors, executioners rolled into one.  Don't expect true democracy to exist in a game that you pay to play.  It's just simply how it works.  If you want civil liberties, and you think Blizzard should be sued, then you're on your own on screwing up a perfectly awesome game.  Yes, there are asses that would rather ruin a game for everyone just to satisfy their own ego, and you seem quite close to being one of those people.

For me, I will continue to subscribe to this game.  There is a nice player in roughly ten or twenty on some servers.  That is reflective of how the world is like.  If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to play.  No one is forcing you to pay to stay.  There are literally hundreds of MMO's on the market.  If you don't like the 8 to 12 year olds who take it out on other players because they have no outlet in real life, then I suggest you go play Online Chess or Online Scrabble.  I'm sure you will find WAY less 8 to 12 year olds bitching to GM's about something so trivial and then get suspended for it.

In my more than 3 years playing this game, I've gone through numerous experiences - both bad and good - mostly bad.  What do I do?  Get a bit pissed and call it a night.  Have I ever been suspended or banned?  Never.  Why?  Because like I said, I never try to piss other people off or mouth them off.  If someone isn't helpful, we boot him or her.  If someone acts like an idiot, we block them.  Has anyone ever talked trash on trade about me?  Never happened even once.  Anything closest to 'talking trash' was when Yeh I'm A Mage on Thott forums opened a thread solely about my 'mocking' attitude towards some members whom seem to have very serious eye problems.

It's one thing to be blunt with a hint of sarcasm but a totally different thing to be vulgar and hostile.
