To be fair, this email has been reposted on HN many, many times, usually when Linus makes an appearance on the front page.

Maybe I play too much Dota, but my first thought was to report this player as toxic. I've learned that if you treat your team members with respect they are more likely to contribute and return the respect. Conversely, if you are toxic to them, you might still win, but it won't be as fun :/.
