D'Oh! I hadn't realized until I read this that he was playing online. All I saw was a kid playing a console. I know you can hood up to a network with those now, but didn't associate that with what I saw here.
Can the other players hear what he's saying somehow? If so, then that's even more messed up than I originally thought. It's jerks like that that are the reason I don't play multiplayer online games.
Is it because it's a videogame maybe? I mean, I've seen guys go nuts at a Scrabble tournament once or twice, but there seems to be something about videogames that invite this type of behavior more than say, chess or Risk.

Besides, the best players online are completly calm. I've seen people like "Random" (considered by many to be among the best Star Craft players in history, inventor of the Reaver drop) play Star Craft on battlenet, and he is 100% calm when he plays, winning or losing.

Heh. Starcraft was one of the online games I tried playing multiplayer and hated, hated, hated it. I'd join a game and it would seem like all the other players would gang up on me and there'd be about a thousand low level troops attacking my base in a matter of minutes. That's off topic, though, as the main problem there is that I suck.
For PVP games, I think I'll stick with real life, and use video games for the solo stuff. They're a lot more fun that way because I can actually win sometimes.
