How do I talk nice to somebody that is talking sheit to/about me without getting mad myself
I had matches where at the end of the game (exit gates powered) and there was 3 people and I would camp one on hook (Since I know they would try to go for the save) and I get salted on becauseI camper even though there was nothing else I could do at this point. I also semi camp toxic survivors and if I sense SWF I usually camp one person as well. Justifiable. If it just some random poor dweet I find no reason to camp them at all. And I don’t. I’ve been getting messages about me camping and a couple times tunneling where 1. I saw them, but not the rescuer or 2. I downed the rescuer and went after them to secure 2 downs.

Well there are a couple ways to go about this. Ignore the person. Or be like me and commend the player and act like you had a good game. For some reason when you say you had fun and a good time and the others played well as well they break..

Always calmly reply, they want an angry reaction out of you. If the discussion is going nowhere then abandon it.

"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
But really, if you're struggling to keep your cool when people get angry with you, the best thing to do is just leave and ignore them. Getting angry in return only inflames the situation. If you do have something nice to say, like if they played well for example, say it and move on. Be the better person.
How do you keep your cool? By reminding yourself that it's just a game, and there's no need for either of you to take it too seriously.

I usually act pretty chill and nice towards them. There might be another reason for their anger, like maybe they just had a really bad day. In my experience, positivity always beats negativity.

i ignore them mostly - or report them on xbox if they're too rude. but that's why i prefer to play on switch - no DM messaging system xD

when a certain type of player peaks their heads out from under the bridge they live under the best way to turn the tables on them is to ignore them and talk to other survivors who are actual human beings . They get soooo mad when they cant get a reaction or the spotlight they crave . I had one cream at me for like 5 mins to say GG to him specifically , I talked to the other survivors and ignored him (he was the first to die anyways and the highest rank , lol) . you could tell he was just getting more worked up and even the other survivors were laughing at him , I ended up thanking the survivors by name (excluding him) for a great game before I left the lobby , ohh and the first thing I typed was a general GG in chat , but he was demanding his personal GG which he never got , lol .

Camping one person 'cause it's SWF isn't justifiable. Patrolling the area is fine if you aren't intending to do so to just tunnel that person down (if they have BT or DS, that's actually a poor play, too), but if it isn't end game and they aren't toxic, they've done nothing to deserve it. If you got the rescuer, you might as well just hook them. Someone else's actions isn't the saved person's fault and you're keeping them from getting points in anything other than bold, which will ultimately hinder their points in the end. Given if they have a plan and can loop you for long enough, it's fine. Just some ettiquette things that'll get people frustrated if you do them. It's like how t-bagging, pointing, and telling you you're bad is impolite. Some people are rude and some people will get upset and try to blame you for their own shortcomings. It happens all the time when cuing as a random to SWF. Them farming themselves wasn't the issue. The issue was that you were selfish and working on gens while they farmed each other.
I usually just play the way I would like to be played with.

Yeah that’s what I do, I don’t face camp unless somebody is really ticking me off. I do the thing called proxy camp if it’s a SWF, but the ones I’ve been getting lately were teabagging me so I thought “why not punish them?” And that’s what I did, but other than that if I ever camp it’s proxy. A bit closer proximity if generators are powered, but not face camp.

Alternatively, just ignore.

I would literally just say GG or if you want "GG WP". And then leave or close chat, if you want to continue looking at your score or something. (not sure how it works on console?)
Depending on your rank, (mostly their rank) Lower ranks may not realize actual strategy in this game. And that's usually just being new., or only playing survivor and they don't get the killer perspective. Especially exit gates powered and someones on hook... that's pretty typical. I'd like to think most people get it. Those who play enough do. People that are REALLY trying to go after you, seriously just want the attention. They crave it. I classify them as just extremely upset, or trolls, doing it on purpose with intent (easy to see if they all lived and are complaining, those are trolls).
Don't let people get to you, some players have certain "fair" rules they try to force others to go by, like killers can't kill etc. Like play the game, play by the actual DBD rules (don't exploit etc), enjoy it, most of all have fun. Don't stress about "trolls". You know you played by the "games" rules. Which this strategy falls under. Also, people will say you camp and tunnel, as long as you are on the map basically. You being on the map means you camp and tunneled.... like.. it's just lol. Don't take it seriously. People are allowed to be upset, but don't let them upset you. And if you want, just try to realize that they most likely died or their friend died so they are just really emotional, and if they are hurling insults, it's just their defense mechanism, not you. Don't take it personally at all. Majority of insults are literally all the same.
Are you playing on console? Is that how they are messaging you? I mean cause if you are getting harassed and such, that is reportable. I'm not sure if there is a blocking ability. But yeah, Just be happy with your own self. Did you enjoy it? Were you okay with how you played? Because that's what matters. And if they try to taunt or bully you, just let it roll off you.

If tbagging gets to you that badly the least you should do is disable postgame chat and never look back. If on console then that's unlucky I guess, as I doubt you'll be able to fully ignore rage goblins if tbagging gets such a reaction out of you.
More often than not people that tbag want you to focus them.
