all the most intelligent, important people get attacked and disagreed with the most. 
Agreed. So I'm doing ok there.

Another thing is to not answer the insults but the other parts of people's posts (if there are any).

That's a really good point, but I find it very hard not to defend my point of view when I am challenged.

For example, what if someone said to you, "Renaeden, you are a stalker!" (you are not, of course, this is just an example) what do you say then?

another thing for me is just to remember that people who disagree with you will try to goad you into anger, and be ready for it.  Not think, "what I'm saying is the gospel truth, so everybody should see sense and agree with me."

I don't usually try to goad to anger, I think I just stick to the hypocritical facts people like to believe about themselves and regurgitate them.

But shoot me down if I'm wrong here.

The passive aggresive player is very easy to play. All you need to do is never bluff and bet all your hands for value. They will let you check all your marginal hands for free. This will destroy them.

That's how I play. But I'm passive agressive.

Then your ideal opponent will be a macho-man with large ego and point to prove. Be a good sport and let him give you all his money.

I would think it funny because I know I am not a stalker. ;D

I must admit, I have not been in the position of fighting off incessant insults.

Good point.  It helps if the insults are actually funny.
