Don't forget that Chatrooms are NOT private. Anything that is said can be recorded without your knowledge by anyone in the room - in fact many people make a habit of logging every conversation for their own reference. Don't say anything you wouldn't want to have repeated on the evening news. Be very careful revealing personal information such as phone numbers, addresses, etc. in a chatroom. Dealing with obnoxious users Very occasionally, you'll meet someone in a Chatroom that you don't get along with.
Some immature folks tend to dominate the conversation, or actively seek to annoy others.
If polite requests don't resolve the situation, you should ask if there are any Chat Admnistrators online - they have the ability to kick offending users offline. IF no administrators are online, you can try changing to other areas, or in extreme cases, convincing others to join you in a locked room excluding the offender. Any such behavior is NOT tolerated.
