Cheap advertising!

Anyway every use poker chat whilst they are playing?
Well I complimented this person on their picture of a dog (taken using a fish eye lens/effect) and they started typing in 'nob ed' into the browser. Repeatedly. So rude and annoying. They were playing with a 5BB stack and refused to rebuy. I was being genuine and was annoyed when I met with the repeated 'nob ed's. Actually I was firstly greeted with a 'who gives a fuc'.
In the end I cut and pasted 'woof'! several million times to block out their pasted 'nob ed's.
Somehow during that time I won about 40BB, which was nice, considering my concentration had slipped to 0% I had some solid(ish) hands and I think me woofing made people think I was liable to bet out with nowt.
Someone tell me off now, but come on, how many other people use chat tactically or otherwise and what sort of manners do you encounter?
Admittedly once I cut and pasted a whole load of 'bloops' into the chat window and someone said "stfu" which is a fair point. It is too tempting to be silly, to try and project an 'idiot' image at the table. Much cheaper than other advertising at a loose on line table.
I'll bloop away if I think it might net me cash later on at the table. I don't care if people think I'm a freak or a nutcase, all part of the game as far as I'm concerned.
That said I've had a few sane conversations in my time and who hasn't typed swear words when a bad beat occurs? Ok, Poker Pete I know you haven't, but non Zen like individuals may do from time to time.
