Nah i shouldnt asked cuz i am an alien and supposed to understand everything, right? :D (sarcasm)

Even if you were an alien (which I doubt), that is a good and valid question.
The answer may be difficult to find due to too much reasons.
You can ignore them, you can ask them "can you tell me better moves in this position?" often follow...

Alright, thanks for answering after like 5 posts LOL

Ignore the noise. You would have forgotten it an hour later anyways. The more this kind of noise bothers you the less real chess information you have room for in your brain.

To our young and valiant soldier,

We have heard of thy sorrow and of the unjust manner in which thine adversaries speak and act against thee. Let not their bitter tongues bend thy spirit, nor let their unfair deeds make thee doubt the worth that dwelleth within thy heart.

Hold thy head high, good soldier. A true warrior is not measured by the cruel words cast upon him, but by the honour with which he endureth them. Oft do those who mock and belittle others carry a weakness and low esteem within themselves; thus they seek to lessen another, that they may feel greater for a fleeting hour.

Pay them no heed. Stand steadfast, keep thine honour, and let thy deeds speak louder than their empty chatter. Thou art stronger than thou knowest, and thou needst not earn thy worth from the voices of thine enemies.

By Our royal word, We bid thee take courage: raise thy banner, trust in thyself, and march forward with dignity.

His Majesty, the Würzburg City King

Look, in my view you have three options: either insult them (in a friendly way obviously), or challenge them, or ignore (which, for me, is the best option)

If someone laughs at you for making a mistake, they've given you a gift, an opportunity to practice not letting some random you don't know affect your emotions with a few presses of their keyboard.

you can't control what people type, but you can control how you feel about it.

so, don't feel bad. easy. it takes practice. for me, lots of practice.
