Most of the people that trash talk (in my experience) are adults. The only time I trash talk is when the enemy team says "You guys suck! We're going to win" and then our team ends up winning.

Though your right, way to many insults are thrown about for no apparent reason. I've learned that those who inflict pointless insults to others are themselves seeing those same faults in themselves.

Our spirit has been broken by the inconsistent monster called LAG.  I'd say if this game played 100% correct, we'd have less whiney babies online. 

I get the people talking trash all day long and it's rare to come across good sportsmanship online.  People hide behind their tv screens and yell at you, saying they are going to find where you live and blah blah blah.  I either mute them, or welcome them to try. 

i tell my party if someone says something.. to STAY QUIET.. let the game roll.. if we win then we win.. if we lose then we lose..  just ignore.. it gets them angrier
