Is putting people on tilt via chatbox trash talk profitable?

First and foremost I realise its bad etiquette and I myself do not do this. However I would be quite tempted to start because recently I have just seen people shoving in their stacks on doing crazy moves after someone mocks them in the chatbox. This is usually after a bad beat or a shown bluff, for example a guy hit his flush on the river and typed HAHAHA!!!!! and just kept putting that when the guy who got sucked out on called him an idiot etc. The guy on tilt just went crazy and lost about 5 buy ins. Im talking micro/low stakes full ring games here and I know these tactics wouldn't work against multi tabling good players. Poker is all about maximizing profit and I want to know is it worth it just typing something quick in the chatbox after you get lucky against someone, what are your thoughts on this topic and what are some funny lines to use to make people tilt?

I'd only advocate this if you are playing against other regs at a stake where it would have a significant impact, and probably only in a headsup setting. Don't ruin the atmosphere for recreational players, its counter-productive .
