    “Cope,” "seethe, “cry harder;” as examples. Basically just stuff that would harsh the mood if we were all just chilling at a pub. It’s cool that you have different ideas, but there’s a certain toxicity to calling out the misfortune and fears of others that promotes negativity in the community.

    You can celebrate your win and different perceptions in ways that don’t feel as rude, hateful, and divisive. You don’t have to, but that means people aren’t going to like you or want you to be a part of the discussion.

      Honestly, it’s hard to not make fun of your opponents when they lose. We do it everywhere. Like in sports. I guess you’re right though. Considering the tense nature of the community, I shouldn’t have let the urges get the better of me. Thanks for the reply.
