It instills fear into your opponent when you absolutely trounce them, then turn around and act like it's no big deal. Whereas someone acting like they won the super bowl when they've only just scored a touchdown, while they think they're demoralizing you, actually has the opposite effect. It shows you they've never been there before, and if that's a great victory then you've seen everything they have to offer.
Just saying, my dude. Posting articles making fun of dead people and adding a "gotcha" on there doesn't do anything but convince the people you're trying to demoralize that you're the one barely hanging in there.
