There are a few users on a group I’m using me that won’t let a couple of rages they baited me into in the last in the past that won’t stop harassing me about it. What can I do?

Please call the "when it's okay to pull the Second Amendment trick" hotline

Why should you do anything? Let them talk to themselves.

block them and go play video games

Or make posts that make everyone else block you, takes longer but gets you there.. .. eventually

Block them and report them, contact Steam support if you hope for more immediate resolution but keep in mind Steam's moderation is the bare minimum, and they do not take action unless they are legally obligated to or they need to set an example.
For example, they will ban a scoff-law trying to demonstrate that Steamcommunity doesn't have moderation, but they won't ban someone commenting about how racial, sexual, or gender minorities should be hurt or killed under some political post. They also won't ban people for harassment unless it's legally serious, or the person is empowering others to do it.

What's the full story? You know I'm here for you, and I’m not taking sides - but when people clash, it’s rarely just one person’s fault.. I wonder if maybe you're assuming others are more focused on you than they really are. Most people are caught up in their own lives and worries.

Simple, give them your address, they go quiet in a hurry because that what all trolls do is to talk online instead of taking care of the situation IRL. self-dox is the way to go. Or you could go a legal route is by contacting your local law enforcement.

That's a great way to get swatted, if you want to do that everyone knows you need to give an address that isn't theirs. Giving them your location isn't really smart.
