I don't think I can disagree any more with the bolded, though. That just promotes turning the games into popularity contests, which they're not intended as. People are going to not get along with each other sometimes, that's natural, and moreover some people are going to take it further and will actively try to harm the experience of another player. As a community, the best we can do is call out said behaviour when we see it, I don't think trying to pretend that the solution to this is to tell ourselves that mitigating spite is something the one spited needed to deal with. Closing our eyes and pretending that certain behaviours don't exist isn't a solution for anyone but the apathetic.
