I've never had this problem before, but it has finally come up on a 22p tutorial map that I'm playing in.
I'm playing as Italy, and I happen to want Austria, as is my northern neighbor Germany. I ask Germany that I be able to take Innsbruck and Graz for a border buffer zone while Germany can take the rest. I expected two results: either Germany accepts, or he would politely refuse. Germany replied with the threat of war. That's fine, but I don't want a war with Germany, so I reply with repeating my intentions: I only want Innsbruck and Graz. Now Germany replied with this, and I'm gonna quote: "Dude-bro, I'm literally Hitler...like what do you expect? Go be a giant Il Duce in Afrika and quit being a pain in my Anschluss." Now that ticked me off, for I felt like that was an insult, but it technically was just being impolite, so I decided not to report yet. Now after that, we went to war, with me admittedly being salty and prideful, wanting to win against this arrogant player. I lost quite a few troops in the beginning, so I congratulated Germany with this: "I must say the initial battles were performed well by u. I may have underestimated." Yet, here was Germany replying with this: "I told you to invade Albania instead, now look, you're getting invaded by them and they are ai, lololol". I got pretty pissed even though it was admittedly a mistake on my part (I still lost no troops against Albania though). This isn't even the worst part. The worst lies in the news.
In day 1 news, it started with Germany stating in news that he wants Austria, which sparked the thing mentioned above, and I issued an ultimatum, stating that Italy will get what it wants (Innsbruck and Graz) or risk total war with Germany. Yet an anonymous reply came: "Germany doesn't negotiate with terrorists because they are the terrorists." The rest of the story is clear: I went to war with Germany, and the war is still ongoing.
Now the point is, am I just being salty for being offended at such little things, or can these messages and posts by Germany be actually be considered as a legitimate reason for me to report such a player? I'm really confused as where the line should be, and I nope many of you can give advice for what I should do.
