I'm sorry. At no point did I intend hostility -- indeed, I wasn't even calling names, I was giving a warning. Let me try again:
What I was trying to say was that
1. Your actions define who you are, and that these actions...
(a) throwing matches
(b) lying (either to alliance partners or opponents)
(c) bullying
(d) bad-mouthing other teams
might -- and only might -- help your ultimate tournament standing, but they are despicable.
2. It's easy to not be despicable; you achieve it by not doing despicable things.
I wasn't at any point saying that this label applies to anyone in this thread or elsewhere; only that it could, and it's entirely up to them whether or not it does. The choice lies entirely with the person(s) choosing to commit or not commit the match-throwing, lying, bullying, or bad-mouthing. That said, it's much harder to slough off a negative reputation than it is to not earn it in the first place.
