I simply don't open the chat. No need to get distracted.
^^This. When I tile the tables the chat box goes blank, the table size for 3-6 tables on my monitors is just a bit too small for it to display. Sometimes I resize it manually to be just a fraction of a fraction bigger so the chat re-displays, and sometimes I'm playing only 2 tables on global, but most of the time I am not even seeing the chat.

That's how it is when I'm playing six tables on my laptop. I even collapse the toolbar and use literally every bit of screen (no gaps) to tile the six tables. Chat box still is blank, but that's a good thing imo.
I don't mind chatting a little sometimes, but it seems that the only people chatting are the ones who get in bad, suck out, and then tell their opponent that they suck at poker. Oh, and the riggies.
Yesterday there was quite a stir on one of the 4NL tables. Started as an amiable conversation then ended up as a lively back and forth about each other's respective propensity for fellatio.
The other day I got into it with another player who started trying to insult me by calling me a tranny, a transsexual, and then Bruce. So, I put the guy’s fairly unique avatar name into google to see if I can get any background on this guy. I find he’s a regular poster on a website for guys who try penis enlargement. I come back to the table and say o hey buddy guess what happens when I google your name? Actually, tbh I googled his name and the word poker and the top link was a thread to an online tourney for guys in the penis enlargement forum using Poker stars home games. But anyways, I come back thinking this will be the ULTIMATE CHAT BOX SMACK DOWN, but when I bring it up, the guy does a 180 and suddenly gets all chummy with me telling me that he’s “a pioneer “ in some penis growing therapy that involved race horses and ligament stretching. I’m tempted to post the transcript. It was wild.
