The best way to keep a donk at the table is too make the game personal for them. I don't berate their play, that's counterproductive. I simply call to attention how they can't win a pot off me and question their manhood. generally this is enough to get their competitive juices flowing.
For instance, a normal chat may go something like this (suppose the donk just folded on the river).
ME: Why even bother playing a hand against me, you're gonna lose, I'm unstoppable
DONK: whatever
ME: Why don't you just leave before I take all your chips
DONK: ok, whatever
ME: Would you like to borrow a belt so you can strap a pair of balls on
Generally by this point he wants to beat me so bad he's drooling. Anyone who has played PFO tables with me has seen me belittle unknowns in the chatbox. I rarely belittle their game, just call them homos and stuff like that. Although, I always belittle the rocks
