Some things made sense, however I think there is a thin line between winning and faggotry. Take MW2, Id say I do good most of the time. I dont camp, I dont spawn kill, I play to have fun. Most of the time I do good. But I still see things as cheap. I would go 26-5 and if I get killed by a grenade launcher or duel shotguns I call it cheap, has nothing to do with me sucking at the game.
The winning at all costs sort of motivation is when faggotry takes over. Camp in one spot with one entrance the entire game, go 15-2. You win. But is that ever fun?
I say play to have fun, or why buy the game? To boost your ego? Get friends.

There is nothing wrong with living in "scrub world." Because like this guy said "99.9%" of the world is made of scrubs. So maybe its that .1% of the world that can't play games with honor and have to be fags. Being cheap in MW2 doesn't require any "skill." I don't play cheap because "its hard," I don't play cheap because its boring. Why run around with a noob tube or akimbo shotguns that require a trigger pull by reaction when I can actually be improving my aim, and reaction time by using a real gun and killing people.

Also when I am playing MVC2 with my friends I am not going to be a cheap asshole even though I can. I can do that to other people in ranked matches.
