Well I am perplexed by this ordeal because I logically can't wrap my head around it. I admit it is a very stupid argument but that's why I'm confused. I don't know why it's such a big deal. I changed a few names for privacy reasons but I did it half-assed. Keep in mind, we are both in our early 20s and have known each other since Elementary school. I am Person A.

Code:
So a problem happened between two individuals.  Person A and Person B.  These two share a Ventrillo server and other come on and play video games with them.  Person A has a friend, Person C (Jeff), who rarely gets on the server and likes to play with Person A.  On the night of August 14th 2011, four people were using the server.  Two were playing World of Warcraft (Person B and Person D [Cody]), the other two played Age of Conan (Person A and Person C).   Person A and Person C switched channels so they could speak clearly to each other.  The reason being Person B speaks regularly.  While being in a different channel, Person B started acting childishly and insulting Person A and Person C for leaving the channel.  Person A and Person C question the seriousness of the issue.  After a heated arguement, Person A stated "(Person B), you are being irrational.  I will just not use Ventrillo anymore, bye."

The next night, unprovoked, Person B sends Instant Messages over Steam to Person A.  Starting with insults to Person A and Person C for using their own Ventrillo, which wasn't happening.  Person A corrects him and proves he's not in a server.  These messeges are what followed Person A's correction.

Person B: http://school.discoveryeducation.com/clipart/images/tissubox.gif
Person A: why are you making such a big deal over this?
Person B: just cause its funny how much little things bothered you and jeff
Person B: kev and cody both have stayed and havnt left any channles due to noise and even if they are not playing same game
Person B: i was playing cod4 while they were playing wow and they didnt leave for their own channel
Person A: good for them
Person A: can i do what i want to do?
Person B: i asked them why and they both said cuase were in vent to talk to eachother
Person B: and that made me think oh ya
Person A: or do i have to do what you want me to do?
Person B: tthat does make sense......
Person B: i never said that
Person A: then why bring it up?
Person B: i didnt
Person B: where did i say do as i command?
Person A: did you not just start this im?
Person B: i cant find it in the text anywhere
Person B: im starting giving you shit
Person A: you have a problem with me doing what i want to do
Person B: thats all
Person B: still dont understand the point of switching channels even if to play another game
Person A: i want to leave channel because i dont want to talk over you, but still have the benefits of vent
Person A: is thats such a problem?
Person B: I thought we were friends all communicating to eachother no matter what
Person B: ya
Person A: its not a friends thing
Person A: its a noise thing
Person A: friends or not isnt the point
Person B: why doesnt it bother cody?
Person A: becuase it doesnt bother him
Person B: hes the chachist of them all when it comes to sound
Person B: why not?
Person A: its his choice
Person B: if he can take it why cant you?
Person A: its my choice to leave
Person B: ya but that makes it not fun not having all the peeps on vent to talk to
Person B: when you guys are off to your own channels
Person A: it makes it not fun when i have to talk over someone
Person B: its not that bad
Person B: and you know it
Person A: me leaving channel isnt bad
Person B: for you
Person B: cause you are self centered
Person A: its enough od a bother to me for me to switch channels
Person B: dont care but anything but yoseld nukka
Person A: its really not a big deal
Person A: and so what if i just think about myself
Person B: that would mean why have vent?
Person B: talk to yourself so theres no nouse
Person A: wrong
Person B: noise
Person A: im still using it
Person B: for what
Person B: if you can only be in a channel with jeff thats tolerable and hes never on that means your vent usage is stupid
Person A: to talk to someone playing the same game as me, and not being distracted or having to talk over someone
Person A: what?
Person B: since being in our channel is TOOOOOO loud and untolerable for you you can never be in our channel right?
Person A: no
Person B: like if your not playing a game with us i dont want to distract you
Person A: it means that i can CHOOSE what i want to do
Person B: so if jeff isnt on you must leave and go into channel by yourself?
Person B: ya and i dont get why youd want to be in a channel by yourself
Person A: i dont want it loud when im trying to talk to one person
Person A: kinda like when your on the phone with someone at a party
Person B: but its not loud
Person A: you get loud
Person B: so do you
Person B: do i ever leave?
Person B: no cause im not a vag
Person B: thats my point
Person A: do what you want to do
Person A: ill do what i want to do
Person A: when i want to focus my statements at one person, and not have to talk over someone, changing channels is the easiest thing to do
Person A: now i really dont get why you have such a problem with it, so what if im a vag, it doesnt matter
Person B: so your telling me I ALWAYS TALK OVER YOU
Person B: cause I dont believe its that high of a rate
Person B: not that to be concered about
Person A: you do a lot, not always, but a lot. i know you dont mean to
Person B: I just dont get how you cant just man up and tolerate it and be in a com server with peeps and relaz and enjoy even if you might get cut off a time or so
Person B: I dont see the probelem in it
Person B: only you and jeff
Person A: because we dont like talking over people, its nothing personal
Person B: well thats ok but when you put statements like you and jeff put where IM too loud ALL the time that personel
Person A: the logic is: playing different game, it will be easier to switch channels than to talk over someone.
Person B: cody says he doesnt care and rarely notices
Person B: is he a super hero?
Person A: when does cody talk?
Person B: he might be
Person A: anyway
Person A: good for him to not care about it
Person A: i do
Person A: so i do something about it
Person B: and switch channels and not be able to talk to us
Person B: which is kinda gay
Person B: cuz brosef steve will no longer be able to be chatted with
Person A: im sorry about that but you can tell me what you want to tell me before or after
Person B: and that sucks lol
Person B: i come in vent for ONE reason only
Person B: chatting with homies
Person B: and games come waaaayyyyyyy down the line of importance because its just a game
Person B: its a social place to talk to peeps
Person B: and thats why i use it
Person B: i didnt know it was a focus fire for serious gaming
Person B: if you guys want to use vent for serious gaming businesss than i guess thats fine
Person B: i just thought everyone was in here for fu n
Person B: and not special needs to fit gaming
Person A: well we have an understanding now
Person B: ok
Person B: so we wont ever disturb you guys
Person B: ill have chris make you guys a jeff and steve channel
Person B: and lock it so you will never be disturbed
Person B: since im always loud ill stay out
Person B: since gaming>bros
Person B is now Offline.

Person A's point: I like to switch channels to get away from noise so I can speak clearly and easily to another person playing the same game as me.

Person B's point: Thinks switching of channels is a personal attack on him and lashes out against the indivdual like a child not getting attention.
Who can be justified?

Person B is 12 and therefore a precious snowflake.

In all serisouness, you didn't do anything wrong, you may not have explained it well, but you didn't do anything wrong.

Just stop hanging out with him if he won't STFU about it.

Person B was probably just paranoid that you switched channels to talk about him or something. Sounds like he's just insecure.

It's what I do. /bows

The best part of it is that I'm completely serious. I find that it always makes for the best lulz.

My brain is melting from trying to understand B's logic. He must have been trolling, no-one can be that stupid. I hope... "I don't want to live on this planet anymore."

Haha nice replies. Well as you can see it's a miniscule problem for the everyday person. But to him, who has insecurity issues out the ass, I'm wrecking his world by switching channels.

Mine too. Mine too...

Logic doesn't reach him.

Regardless of who I think was right I have to commend OP for keeping his cool in the conversation
Thanks, but it's hard to some times with him. I'm sure you can gather that he argues like this a lot. And "like this" means no point, personal attacks, and reversal to a "trolling" attitude. He knows I'm right, so he calls me a fag or says he was "jk". Grrr, pisses me off...

why didn't you at some point say "Dude, shut up!"
Because that would make him go harder and he would throw more personal attacks at me. But the more he speaks, the more he digs his own hole, so I let it happen.

It's ironic how B talks about A being self-centered when it's obviously B being self-centered.

B gets upset over such a silly thing...

Person B sounds quite childish.

Though, honestly, posting this on public forums? Not the most mature thing either.

i think person A may have mishandled his leaving of the thing to allow person B to take it so badly, but i don't see how it did get that aggressive...
lol @ the use of the insult "vag" though, i haven't heard that in years, thanks for that.

Are you guys in separate provinces/states/cities or something? Maybe in different countries? If you went to school in Australia and he's from the states and maybe the other two are in Canada, I could see him wanting to be in the same server to chat. If you go to the same university, you see each other on a regular basis, then I don't see the problem with wanting a little bit of separation in a vent server so that you can actually hear each other. He's playing CoD4, God only knows how loud I would get when I played that. Not just from my dying rage, but from laughing at stuff, joking around, etc. I would record it and play it back for him. Play in the same vent server, and let them play CoD and record it all so that he sees "Shit, you can't hear anything the other guy is saying..." and if you're playing a game to have fun, doing good is usually a good way to have fun, and being able to talk leads to doing good.
