Good players never berate because they know the importance of keeping players who make mistakes in the game. If you are getting hotheads at your tables, at least you should be consoled by the fact that they don't have the temperment or ability to see the larger picture required to ever make it as a good poker player.

The sad truth is that a number of very good players are not only hotheads at the tables, but downright assholes. You will find accomplished pros both online and live who take getting beat very poorly and unleash terrible, consistent outbursts at opponents (aka taping the glass hard). The first guy that comes to my mind who loves to berate the fish (and pros as well) is Phil Hellmuth. Besides many rants you can find from televised events, I have played with him a couple times where both times he lost a reasonable hand to a another player, and berated them endlessly for like an hour each time, like a tiger...
