It is probably because some of them are and then others pick it up from them. online multiplayer shooting games attract a LOT of morons. They are just really bored idiots who quite often have very large egos (I have no idea of how to spell that word) and they either brag when they score or start insulting those who are winning. They are simply stupid people who you should just ignore.

people just stay online all day and night drinking energy drinks, snacking on twinkies, listening to other idiots saying stupid things also. then they say stupid things like "you fetus". some times it better to get some sleep than kill those last seventeen people online.

it would seem that online video games, particularly FPS games, regrettably attract people with a certain type of mentality. They tend to be excessively sophmoric and juvenile, or at least it seems that way to me.

Because Xbox live is a place where you can go to take your worries off of things. Engage in stupid conversation and forget about your cares and play an exciting game whilst doing so. You just found the morons, you have to find the right people and you get them no your friends list so you can play in parties with them and you don't have to worry about the morons. Anyways that is why the mute option was created.
