I only find people quite sad if they hold a grudge on someone in an online game community.
Seriously, if you are like that in real life, you're going to lose a lot of friends. The only reason they do it online is because they think they can get away with it, no consequences. Well those people need to grow up, as it takes more courage to try and appologize then to try and look big on the internet, even in real life. Does it take courage at all to try and look big? I think not.
Edit: I think we need a dramaman story here... Just to make it funny, and yet, important, like a comic relief in a movie.
