Losing only teaches something if you are willing to learn.

As good as the quote is, it is unfortunately not always true - if it was we wouldn't be having this discussion about arrogant winners and chronic sore losers.

"Winning is teaching; losing is learning" - thanks Bluez; I'm going to have to remember that one!

Not going to lie, I didn't read either article, but I get the jist of what they are about.

I play a fair whack of video games and really haven't experienced much trash talk or rages quitters. I don't take any of it personally, I don't live for a high KD, some games I top the and boards others I will be at the bottom.

Winning is kewl, but If I am in the mood to lay in a bush and snipe for an entire round of BF4 knowing full well I will only get a handful of kills I will do it.

If dudes wanna Tea Bag me after killing me, I don't mind, who don't like tea anyways?

In summary, I play for my own enjoyment, rage quit, get angry, abuse me, I dont mind... as long as there are folks for me to bust caps into their domes I am happy!

What's more worse than lightly trash talking and sometimes quitting, is modding/hacking and peps who exploit game bugs.

Light trash talking and sometimes quitting isn't going to end. I'd be lying if I said I never did it. Every one of us is unique, we aren't robots. I understand it can get annoying sometimes. To me there is a difference between rage quitting, and quitting.
Rage quitting is when someone rages, then quits, and quitting is when someone doesn't want to be in the game. It is wrong to force someone to have to stay in the game. This is why Microsoft doesn't penalize you for carrying out such an action.

Not everyone strictly plays to the objective of a game. Sometimes they may want to have some reasonable fun. It is a game after all, not an exam.

Xbox is meant to be a fun thing to do in our free time. Some peps are good at behaving themselves, others not as much, but you can't always expect perfection out of anyone.

I'm glad you haven't been a party with some of my other friends. 1 of them she was like an angel, until something went wrong in Minecraft then she started raging and swearing and killing that I really wanted to kick her out of my game and party and was being
nasty to other friends both mine and hers and almost felt like a need to file a complaint. 3 of my friends defriended her and I understand why, yet she always tends to be nice to me.

We should all try to be considerate of each other. But you shouldn't expect perfection.
