There are some...unpleasant people in the chat that seem to have an aversion towards me.Each time I'm talking with some of them, they call for more of their "little gang" and start calling me names and insulting me.

It usually goes like this:While I'm talking, someone else joins the chat and says "Oh look it's the troll/the « Useless piece of Golden Lumber! »/the idiot again", and then everyone (including the ones I was chatting with) starts insulting/ignoring me.I find this behavior deprecable and immature.

Now, I don't want to report any of them, but if such a thing happens again I'll post the logs.

Feel free to move this discussion if it's in the wrong forum.

Obviously this is the wrong forum... Why would this go in any harvest moon sub-forum? :/ Most likely belongs in backfence...

Also, I don't even GO to chat so not sure what to say other than that. Other than avoid it if you don't feel comfortable there.

That's why I don't go into chat. All I can tell you to do is avoid chat or ignore them somehow. If you give them ANY sort of reaction, that's just feeding the trolls.

Well, if you didn't harass people who have lost family members, people wouldn't be inclined to insult you back.
Maybe spend a little time cooling down off chat, then come back with a clear mind.
(Also this maybe should have gone in the Back Fence or in Webpage Comments.)

pro tip : if someones dog, lover, family member, tree etc has just been injured, killed, maimed etc. saying things along the lines of "oh well everyone has « Cow Poopoo » to deal with" doesnt tend to make people want to be friendly towards you~

Well I would be fairly angry if someone said that to me when something/someone I love has been hurt or worse.
So I don't blame them for calling you names.

Its your own fault, but I would just stay out of chat for awhile.
