QFT. By getting mad at all the people PMing him he is just giving the person spamming in all chat exactly what he wants. Set yourself to offline for 10 minutes and problem solved.

I'm sure you'd all get annoyed if like 20 people pm'ed you asking for gold a crap because some jackass had a beef with you.
Annoyed, yes. Took it out on the people who PM'ed? No. I just ignored them.

I set myself to DnD, sent a /report about the harassment, and left the district. But then.... I'm not so emotionally unstable that minor setbacks in a video game send me into a fit of rage...

You didn't do anything wrong, and you are not at that kid's mercy. You encountered what is known as a "mean person" who was "messing with you" for "fun".

Honestly, you'd think GW was some people's first time on the internet!

Serious business.
This is the correct way to handle the situation if you are a mature person.

Welcome, you will meet loads of dicks like matey , just ignore em, personally though i find it amusing to go to another district and type,

''xxxxxx (a guildmate) is giving away free greens, ectos shards, or whatever,''
then listen to them get increasingly aggravated by the horde of freleoaders, , its happened to me quite a few times so revenge is sweet.

chances it are its not a kid... as most kids find no interest in the complexities of GW... its probably someone getting their sick kicks.... don't mind him you can't get banned for that... from my knowledge anet has all chatlogs recorded

My ignore list is constantly full because of players like the ones the OP mentioned.

My advice is: ignore vengeful hatefilled losers.
