I did. There was gloating, not the toxic stuff I see in gaming. This is beyond rubbing in a win. Its trolling people into rage quiting.

its online, everything is amplified beyond what people would do irl. the spirit is the same as irl sports though

That's fair. And there's that same disconnect that the whole internet has. You aren't looking that person in the face as you trash them.

You can look at almost any form of online toxicity and find a tame version of the same traits irl. Internet just let's out the extremes in people because there are no consequences
