Of course I disagree with your analysis. But you're entitled to your opinions, naturally. - Edit 1

It doesn't exactly take a psychology degree to recognize people being horrible to each other. You're the one who is doing a full analysis here, and a pretty feeble one at that. RAFO's not exactly the place for me if I want to get kicks out of being anonymous, considering that two of my closest real life friends frequent the place.
No one was horrible to each other. Enflamed emotions after a game. Some replies. If this were the non virtual world, G, BG and I would now be waking up after drinking ourselves silly in friendship and fun.
I felt the need to reply because you and Ghav are implying that BG was the only one out of line and you edited merely because she did. I don't like the result of the edits, where two people get away with being vicious/childish and one person looks like the bad guy.
Because I made a lovely reference to a movie. And I mentioned "irrational female hysteria". Even were that out of line, BG and I both edited our responses. We got over it. Quickly. At that. She realized she went over the top. I edited my replies.
There is no "getting away". What there is an intelligent, adult woman realizing that her emotions after an excellent game got to her. This happens every day to adults on the field and off. And she got over it. And so did I. And so did Ghavrel. And now everything is fine. It was dead. But you're not happy. Because people were momentarily mean to each other and "got away" with it. That's life. People say things in the heat of the moment. And then they apologize and get over it. There is nothing childish about this. This is adult life. Get used to it, too, btw. The World Cup is coming up. And more near to it, the Winter Olympics. Passions will be inflamed. World will be exchanged. People will live.
