Thick skin
You need to either have thick skin or you need to block chat when you play mid-late game ICM strategy. Players who are clueless about ICM but have read a few poker books will berate and belittle you when you are only shoving or folding.
What is interesting is that once all your pushbot actions have built up your stack to 20+, your 2.5 - 3.0 bb raises suddenly get more respect (they think you're playing your cards when in reality you're playing your stack), and the smaller raises become (at least for a while) less exploitable.
