Why all the fuss in the other thread, then, I wonder?
The other thread discussed a "F-U" style campaign, where the opponent is just trying to be nasty to you, rather than trying to win/put up a good fight.

I agree with Reverend Zombie that scorched-earth is a valid tactic and can occasionally be the best course of action.

But when used as part of a greater campaign of dirty tricks (e.g. slave-collar suicide squads) that injure both players without any tangible benefit, the player is just being mean. It's the same as knocking the board over at the end of Monopoly...unnecessary and pathetic.

Sore loser = poor sport = crappy opponent.
