I try my absolute best to treat my opponents with martial artist bow-before-the-match levels of respect. I truly believe that everyone I fight against is worth a degree of respect and honor. I don't taunt, I don't t-bag, I don't flame in chat. It's ggs and then I'm out.
I know full-well what it's like to suck at video games. I'm a little brother, and when I was young, my brother and his friends would not pull their punches on me. I was a baby in the lion's den. I had to fight tooth and nail to survive those MW3 1v1s.
Even in the face of kicking my ass thoroughly, they never insulted me and always encouraged me that I could do it. I'm of the opinion that's how all fights should operate!
Now, this isn't to say I'm saintly. I've had my- moments. But as a standard, this is what I try to live up to!
