Spoil Sports

With the last discussion we had, I was just thinking about if spoil sports really are worse than cheaters. Cheaters can be dealt with, reprimanded, and not allowed to play. Spoil sports simply don't want to play, so they refuse to or they attempt to ruin it for everyone. But, at their core, the cheater actually wants to play the game, while the spoil sport merely wants to spoil the sport for everyone else. So, the cheater would actually be hurt by not being able to play the game. Most people cheat to get an advantage within the game, so they do have some love for the game itself. Though cheaters do not respect the game or the boundaries set forth by it, they do truly want to play, they just are willing to do more than others to win. Spoil sports just want to piss everyone off and kill the joy of the game. Of course, cheaters should not be congratulated for their actions, cheating should not be condoned in any manner. Both types of people are detriments to the game, and both should be dealt with. The problem is, how do you deal with a spoil sport? Telling him or her they can't play will not affect them. So, how should one deal with a spoil sport? Perhaps making them play is the most fitting punishment. The problem with that is that they ruin the game for everyone else. So why even bother? Nothing can really be done to dissuade them from ruining the game.

Well, thats about it from me.
