I guess this is where I have to disagree with dlj. As soon as you lower yourself to their level to play the game, whether it's to win or teach them a lesson, you've lost the game, you haven't taught them a thing, only that sometimes the game ends unfavorably. When I notice I'm involved in a game, I stop playing COMPLETELY. When you find yourself playing the game alone, you lose, and alot of times it hits hard because the person who starts it thinks they are 'all that' and wouldn't dream that someone just wouldn't at least play and try to win. It takes their self-confidence and runs it through the ringer. To the person who refuses to play, it boosts their self-esteem because they realize they didn't need that creep anyway. So, who wins if one person refuses to play? It sure isn't the game player, cuz he's playin with himself, in more ways than one. The person who says, "I'm just not gonna play, cuz yer not worth the game" is the winner, and as a nice added effect, imagine the other person's ego deflating like a balloon when you tell them that message, it's really worth doing face-to-face.
Just my humble opinion.....
