It's called smacktalk. People generally do it to try to egg you on into attacking them or doing something stupid. Otherwise people never say a peep in local for fear that they might divulge some piece of information which might be useful to you. |

Pretty much this.
Local smack has nothing but benefits for the user; you buy time to probe them, you get them angry (especially if they are thin-skinned 'elite' pilots), and/or you may or may not receive tears in return.
I can see only one solution; nerf local smack! 
As for advice? GF in local and just drag the name bar as far to the left as it can go  |

Id say it's working as intended, you chose to associate yourself with the dumbed down, slowed down ******** cousin of electronica meant to be consumed by the rhythm-less masses.
Go WUB WUB WUB somewhere else you damn dirty commercial music tool!
The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.
One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear. |

Just ignore the smacktalk and foul language a lot of people use.
99% of them are just sorry people who's only place to vent their frustration is in an online game.
The time not online they just lead pityfull lives in which they have hardly any say so as where it evolves towards to.
Then you have the even sorrier 1% of the smacktalkers who actually thrive on their foul langage. It's their pure reason to exist. To cause mayhem and grief, this because that is all they know how to bring.
Like a wise old man once said:
" Those lacking the brainpower resort to violence, those who lack reason resort to chaos."

Internet anonymity .. enough said.
People acts like that because there is no repercussion. Just makes you thinking what kind of stupid aggressive animals we are.
If EVE audience have had an chance to act like that in real life, means being immortal and having advanced martial-law training with some gunnery skills and gun stash .. it will be actually interesting here on the Earth. |

One reason is to fustrate the other party and hope they mess up in there anger over the nonsense talk. Break your enemies focus and concentration.. They may take it personally and then not follow FC's commands. Doesn't always work but has some added value to bash your targets. Maybe get free kill...  |

Little Lyrra's Tips for Local-Smack:
Language/grammar-snobbery (my personal favourite):
Use this, you'd be amazed at how it pisses off the 1337 SRS BZNS!!!!111oneone1!! crowd. Be sure to explicitly say that they're illiterate, childish fuckwads who embody a generic Internet-cliche, as nuance is often hard to articulate with just text.
After some of ^^that^^ again, say explicitly that you're playing them like a cheap pawn-shop guitar. Feast on the tears of their functionally-illiterate, hathos-inducing attempts at denial.
Be sure to condescendingly criticise the aforesaid language/grammar constantly as you do this. Use big words. (Note: "Pulchritudinous:" Works wonders!)
Don't just be the bigger person, make off like you're better than they in every possible way, and come off like a total pretentious, up-your-own-arse prat about it. Calling them prats as well, I've found, is quite useful! Trouble is, most Americans don't even know what that word means--this is more fuel for your tear-engine when dealing with this demographic, by the way. (Subtle-but-not-too-subtle, condescending anti-American smack to Americans/wannabe-Americans = best smack ever.)
Also, as someone above said, here's another tip:
Say nothing. At all. Just hunt and kill, if possible, and even then, say nothing. These are the types that any-halfway intelligent PvP'er knows well to be careful of.
Getting screamed at in Russian, and can't read/speak Russian?
No problem--just say "Speak English, mate." They usually scream some more in Russian, to which you respond with total gibberish, with a few random obscenities sprinkled throughout. I have no Russian, but I think I infer correctly that they reeeeeeaaaaally don't like this, in my experience.
Proper smacking is an art-form, not a shite-fest of UMADBRO/UJELLY/URMUM/IPWNZORU...Learn it well, and let the tears of the pitifully eager herd-animals fuel your ship, too.
I think it needs saying: In even just the three years I've been playing, I've noticed a marked decline in the overall quality of the community--too many console-kiddies/neglected kid-ults finding EVE, along with too many over-entitled crybears who don't understand what we're really about, imho. I think/hope/pray that this will change soon. EVE used to be smarter than it is now...

Well he was a charlatan cult leader, so probably not locked up so much as running a compound in some remote area. |

This.
Inexperienced combat pilots may not realize that PVP begins in the local chat channels. Despite your best efforts a pirate's mission is to get into your head and under your skin. If I can get you ANGRY and AGGRESSIVE or a bit scared and timid, either way I've already won. To make you feel surrounded by hostiles with mean words with the goal of making you uncomfortable is the goal, making you undock from your safety station because I insulted your mom is just win (BTW this happens quite often with only word games in local).
Immature griefers (and forum whores who never undock) will tell you they are insulting you just for the tears but that would require you to come on the forums crying about how everyone is mean... oh... wait... I guess you played into their hands too.
Are you starting to realize that you don't have to be a victim and that some people are playing way over your heads? |

The first time He came He was tortured and killed by the authorities.
If the second time he arrives he is merely put in jail, isn't that a general sign of improvement?
Optimism?

Most likely, he'll end up in an asylum for the mentally insane, if he isn't there already.
No opinion regarding such a return of course, but if I did, I'd probably assume he was crazy if I saw him. |

The second time He arrives, He'll probably just go ::DOUBLE FACEPALM::, look up to Heaven and say: "Really? REALLY? What are you on, man???!!"
And then say, "**** this, I'm outta here, goin' for a beer..."
