Welcome to XLC Coppertop.
Read your post and can agree with you on everything.
My son is 11 and he does get some stick,but he just wipes them out and laughs (to himself).
He does not bother with the headset because the other more 'mature' gamers piss him off.
Read through some of the older posts while your browsing and you will see a lot of peoples opinion on here.
Everyone on this site is cool and has respect for their fellow gamers.
We are all on here to help you and play against you.
Have fun!
