What's the deal with people being jerks online?

This is why I rarely play any non-local multiplayer, be it on consoles or PC (World of Tanks being the exeption to the rule because of an awesome german-speaking multinational fun-clan I found there).

I played TTT2 on my Wii U in online multiplayer but I'm not very good at it and most opponents I had where extremly cheap to boot, always repeating just one move, locking me pretty much in a cycle of hurt. Thus I stopped very soon and didn't play it online for over a year by now.

Same thing happened to me. As soon as it happened I knew that there was some buttons I could press to stop him, I just didn't know them. He did it for an entire round and then I gave up. I stayed on the floor and he had to keep hitting me with a low kick. I then got a "lol, fuk u" message. Yes, fuck me for not knowing how to block one move and not you for doing the same move over and over again. Pretty much why I never play online. I don't have the time to memorize every move nor do I find it fun. Playing against friends is the best, especially when both players like the game and would know not to pull that kind of crap.

I used to play DOA5 online but all I came up against were a bunch of Jann Lee's spamming the same move and screaming "WAAAATAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!" so yea that didn't last very long
