Do you, BurnOutBrighter, know why the emote/squelch system was put in place? They were specifically designed to dampen the impact players like you would have on the game's overall environment.
Let that sink in for a moment.
You're part of that special subset of players whose attitudes are so shitty that Blizzard literally had to limit you to canned responses in order to foster a non-toxic environment. Rather than taking the hint, you insist on finding ways to gloat and lord it over your opponent, rationalizing it as a measure of "confidence" (yes, I caught what your previous post said before you edited it out to be less abrasive, it might not be public but both you and I know what it originally said) when really you're just a petty player who is unable to grasp the concept of sportsmanship. Even worse, you brag about it here and then get all defensive when you get called out for your bullshit, despite being an active plague on the Hearthstone community.
You are, as far as I'm concerned, everything wrong with online communities in games. Perhaps my tirade will trigger a brief period self-reflection in you, but I highly doubt it, because if you were capable of such a thing you would've done it a long time ago. In all likelihood, you will ignore my words and continue your antics, or respond with something like "chill out dude, it's just a game brah", and continue that cycle of self-rationalization to justify your abhorrent behavior. At the very least, you should have the courage (or should I say, "confidence"?) to own up to the fact that you're being a jerk just because you enjoy it, rather than hide behind half-hearted justifications like: "it's just a game" or "you can always concede" or pretending you're some kind of master of psychological warfare.
If you can't even even manage that, well, it seems to me that you're not only an jerk, but the rather pathetic kind that have to justify their behavior to themselves lest they be forced to confront their own misanthropy. There is really nothing worse than asshole who's too afraid to admit to being one.
