The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

Who would you care more about: someone who you might see on a near-daily basis, personally know and with whom you converse regularly? Or some random gamertag with no mic that you most likely will not run into again?
I treat everyone as if they have the potential to be one of my friends playing on an alt. I give the benefit of the doubt, forgive betrayals, say "good game" if my mike is plugged in, and generally conduct myself in a respectful manner.
Edit: I even keep my teabagging as tasteful as possible - generally only after a triple+ kill and at the end of a game where I have 20+ points.
Yes, despite the fact that I'm somewhat anonymous and would face no repercussions 99% of the time if I chose to act otherwise.
I play Halo for a challenge, when the MM system feels up to giving me one. When it pukes out anything less, I end it as quickly as possible and try again. I'm here for some solid gameplay - not stomping on new kids and their guests.
Good for you, you retain morals whilst on the internet.
Most people will use the opportunity of anonymity to vent their frustrations with real life onto people that can't/won't/don't fight back. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
