For example, there is this one guy at my store who is a huge Space Marine fanboy and starts to get pissy and angry when I ripped on Space Marines and the design of the stormtalon.

When you're a true internet tough guy like me then you lobotomize them with the whippy measuring sticks from the starter sets. After that you go bang 9001 women while driving a lamborghini

DON'T TALK ABOUT THE STORM TALON LIKE THAT!!! lol, i usually just laugh it off.

my biggest pet peeve is when someone makes you measure a distance that is clearly CLEARLY in range. like when a unit is between 2 and 3 feet away and you have a 4ft range. or moving a jump infantry unit like 4 inches and they make you measure. god that annoys me.

You, sir, are awesome!

I would react by rolling my eyes. Then walking away.

Or, if I were mid-game, I'd say:

"3 feet of space around the table please, we need to move around here.
Also, could you please not interupt? My friend and I are in the middle of a game."

Then I would ignore them. If they persisted I would then loudly countinue bashing on space marine fanboys... while playing marines.

Uncaring. I decide what I like. That's the end of the matter. My mother hasn't been able to move me away from 40k. What makes you think a neckbeard could do it?

Exactly the same way i would anywhere else, tell him i wasnt talking to him in the first place, and everyone is entitled to their opinion...

What does being a mini wargamer have to do with being a douche btw? failing to understand the connection...and why would you treat them/deal with them any differently to 'normal life'?

Kill them.

EDIT: I should probably say that I'm joking.

Laugh at them. And while laughing them, get super nerdy and offer to buy them a stein of mead.

That or completely pretend they don't exist. Just keep doing whatever you're doing as if they weren't there.

I can't help but wonder if he would post "I just got a new StormTalon at my local FLGS and then this little punk starts mouthing off and going on about how ugly it is. How do you guys deal with obstinate little morons who have to make fun of other peoples stuff?".

Seriously, if he's a Space Marine fanboy, why are pushing his buttons. Leave him and his beard alone.

Just roll your eyes and walk away.

I'd be bigger than him, so I'd give him an angry lecture on social etiquette. After that he wouldn't be rude to anyone, ever.

Usually, I just punch them in the face like I do all nerds that talk too much... then, belittle them continuously about their body odor while simultaneously dousing myself with Axe body spray all over the imported chest hair I got off the internet.

I mean, how dare anyone try to complain while I criticize!?! What a douche!

... I had to google neckbeard.... Yeah, ignore them. We have one at our flgs who likes to come up and comment on your game about a game he just played or a list he built and will not shut up. Actively ignoring him usually makes him go away. I actually get more annoyed at my opponent if they engage him in conversation as it keeps him around longer....

The ones that *really* get on my nerves are the Ward Bandwagon guys... I mean, if we're talking about it, fine, express your opinion. But if we happen to be playing as Necrons, BAs or GKs (funnily enough nobody bashes Ward when the vanilla SM 'dex is on the table...) you always get that one guy who will just be like 'LOL WARD'.

It gets worse when you ask the guy to explain exactly what's wrong with Ward and he can only resort to various /tg/isms like 'Meh he's Rowboat's biggest fanboy' or some crud like that. The lack of an independent opinion often shows just what kind of sheep these twits are

Edit: We don't deal with them, we just sit there and get progressively more irritated until we just rebut them. Unfortunately the autism/aspergers/miscellaneous usually exhibited by these specimens means that they won't learn their lesson for the next time...

So you pushed his buttons and then got all pissy and angry when he got all pissy and angry, huh? Yeah sounds like you are definitely morally superior in this argument...not...

My biggest pet peeve is people who move their minis "4 inches" and won't measure it and when they finally do measure it because their annoying opponent insists on it, they realize that they really moved them closer to 8 inches than 4 inches. With no range penalties measuring some longer range weapons is pretty dumb, though.

As a fat, lowlike, neckneard, space marine fanboy the only advide I would give you be to "Eff Off"!!

only playing.

Just go to another table an ignore him.

Attempt to engage them in conversation and refute there points if I can be bothered, whilst casually throwing jokes out the whole time, otherwise just half heartedly agree with everything they say until they go away. ...This would be the case if I were in a Games Workshop outlet, where I really don't care for the clientel in general, if I were at my local hangout it would the usual case of casual insults about none of having lives in the first place and bogging off to find one. ^^

I wasn't directly attacking him and I was being sarcastic with my bashing. If he gets butthurt over some jokes then that's his problem. Also i never said I myself got pissy.

Well you got worked up enough to post it on the Internet. Come on, clearly you know this guy cares too much about his marines and has some issues. You went after his Mary Sue and the got what probably anybody at the FLGS would have known was coming. Leave him and his marines alone. They clearly mean a lot to him and he's special enough that he can't handle your rude sarcastic crap. You don't even need to be the bigger man, just be an adult.

yup, you're the guy i'm talking about. i bet you stickle about it only do it when you're losing. if you can't eyeball less than 6" within an inch or two after playing for a few months you just have terrible distance perception.

Or, like me, he has played against people who "obviously have terrible distance perception" and are tired of them moving their models 7-8" instead of 6".

Two sides to that coin, man.

On a slightly related note: it's amazing how much having a ruler out (12"), really speeds up the movement phase.

. ...just add water?

No silly, add faces!

Regarding the measuring of distances, some people just find it hard to judge. So just measure it and put up with the poor soul.

Shave.

When other Neckbeards pretend they're better then Neckbeards and belittle them. I find that annoying.
