Are arrogant comments to be taken as insults?

hello, i played a game and i received a comment, should i take it badly or not?
It DEPENDS:
Hey what is your engine your engine played well = Bad comment+Insult= Ow yeah Reporting Time
Wow! You played very well ,wanna be friends= Good comment+Winning a friend= Yeah boy letz be friends :D
I've faced being blocked and being cursed/insult in DMs, I reported them but,
Earlier, I literally felt very angry on them but now it's different, now I think at least I was able to annoy someone :D
Actually, some people are emotional whereas some are calm and control their emotions, some get frustrated after losing and message bad things, we, in turn should just forget about it and move on, as a part of good sportsmanship.

If we become angry (which we do) and reply same things (which we can prevent) then we both are not good in terms of sportsmanship.

Best way is to disable chat room and DMs from random people, depends person to person.....

I hope it helps, All the Best & Have Fun!
