Being verbally abused during a game

Recently I played a game where my opponent wrote five nasty comments during game play. As soon as I saw the first one, I switched to the Notes tab. When he/she blundered and resigned, I switched back and saw they had been continuing to heckle and berate during the game.

I couldn't find an email address to contact about this, and surely the community would be interested in such behavior. I took a screenshot, have the URL of the game and would like to advocate on my own behalf towards preventing this kind of abuse in the future.

I greatly value this online community and will not sit quietly and take no action as I have in the past. Please advise the proper course of action.

Thank you
Brent
If there's a way to upload an image, that'd be better proof than me typing the text from it. Here is what my opponent wrote:

mchadwick You got a tasty bitch
mchadwick I'm down to doggy
mchadwick I like to keep my strokes mad legato tho
mchadwick Feldenkrais is stupid af
mchadwick Eat a hobos dick cheese
Did you read the big giant enormous red thing when you were creating a thread? Just for curiosity's sake.
Hey OnlyStupidNamesLeft, thank you! That's a worthy Easter egg. Appreciated.
