This, to me, is the downside of online play.
Here's the chat transcript, have a good old chuckle.
-------------------------------------------

->Player2 ahhh.
Player2 (Lobby): pls dont talk rubbish
Player2 (Lobby): and in public too
->Player2 if declarer plays the K!c, the next hand has to duck for it to not make. Who will do that in a slam?
Player2 (Lobby): ALL good players will do it
Player2 (Lobby): sheesh
->Player2 damn, you're a nasty one
->Player2 that means you wouldn't
->Player2 eeek.
Player2 (Lobby): oh man so anybody correcting your stupid intermediate thinking in bridge is nasty eh?
->Player2 ahhh, you're an expert. I should have guessed. See my card for a definition
Player2 (Lobby): my regular pards are mons16 thak terjel carlosp ok?
->Player2 who?
Player2 (Lobby): i run all star team matches all day and night on bbo ok?
->Player2 I can see you're a hero

Player2 (Lobby): while i am not wc i am most certainly and very easily and genuinely an expert ok?
->Player2 no, REAL experts have better manners
Player2 (Lobby): so when somebody loike u argues wrongly and in PUBLIC TOO and then conmtinues arguing it is unbelievable ok?
->Player3: same
->Player2 you're nobody
Player2 (Lobby): u r some piece of work lol
->Player2 look at yourself, and think about your arrogance, and how best to correct it. That's all, thanks
Player2 (Lobby): geez
Player2 (Lobby): i wil just say one last bthing though i already know its waste of time instead of saying stupid wrong things in bridge in public and attacking better players try to ...
Player2 (Lobby): improve yur obviously very bad bridge level ok?
->Player2 you ended up 20th... lol, that's funny.
Player2 (Lobby): bridge is a very precise game being nasty and attacking better players wrongly is only going to make u even stupider
Player2 (Lobby): yes and u ended up with negative score right?
->Player2 yes. We had a bad run there... but par for the course for intermediate players, I suppose. If I were WC, I'd expect to be within the first 4 or 5
Player2 (Lobby): i am going to post this hand and this entire chat log in bbo forum lets see what peop[le have to say
->Player2 you do that
Player2 (Lobby): yes i am going to
Player2 (Lobby): i see u r a liar as well
->Player2 I am a liar?
Player2 (Lobby): i specifically clearly and vfery unambiguously stated "while i am not world class i am most certainly an expert"
Player2 (Lobby): and even that clear plain statement u distorted right?
->Player2 so?
Player2 (Lobby): so lets ee that makes u
->Player2 I'll define it better... if I were a REAL expert, I'd expect to finish in teh top ten all the time
Player2 (Lobby): 1) a very bad loudmouth bridge player who states DEAD WROGN things about bridge in public and then attacks better players who correct u right?
->Player2 you must have some sort of weird need for recognition. Why is that?
Player2 (Lobby): 2) a mean nasty type who insults better plater and will never improve in bridge right?
->Player2 We are all entitled to our opinions, and if you think someone is wrong, then there is a nice way of saying that.
Player2 (Lobby): 3) and now a liar as well who distorts other peoples clear statements right?
->Player2 and I hardly think you are a better player than I am.
Player2 (Lobby): lol
Player2 (Lobby): like i said u r some piece of work
->Player2 yes, and you are an expert. I can see that
->Player2 anyway, that's all. Bye
