Bad etiquette is in good taste these days?

I think people have forgotten their “Emily Post.” And winning at all costs is not the most desirable thing in life.

There’s a big difference between confidence and snarkiness dressed up as it.

Unfortunately, yes. This isn’t 2000 where Gores sighing was viewed as crude and impolite. This is 2012. Rudeness and mocking are viewed as signs of strength and confidence whereas politeness is seen as weakness.
