Yes I believe you are being unreasonable. Policing the chat just makes you come off as a douche. The internet preys on your sensitivity and they win because you actually spend the energy in trying to report them. It's a waste of time, people are not going to change what they type especially if it is not harshly regulated. a warning from being reported is not enough reinforcement to change behavior. At the B&M, you can get thrown out if you keep it up.

Comparing online chat and B&M is just outright silly. It is not the same. poker sites are purely visual, you can turn off chat and play just as fine. In B&M you have to experience it whether you like it not. You have to deal with the audio expect of B&M; i cant drown it out with music because I would not be able to hear important info e.g checks, raises. Not to mention it slows down the game. Online, action moves on regardless of chat.

Honestly, it's merely sticks and stones. Words should never hurt you, especially when it comes from the interweb. since it does in your case, you need to develop some skin.
