I never get this. If I am not dealt with I am just going to win. I never fault anyone for focusing me when I am an obvious threat. I'd only get annoyed if I was being targeted if I had little going on and an actual threat exists. No one should get upset when a player does the smart thing and stops you when you KNOW you'd win if they didn't.
