I mean, people get butthurt over their teams losing, sure. But I can't think of anyone who has expressly cheated in some kind of SE contest that was for nothing but bragging rights. And I definitely can't think of anyone who's engaged in felony activity over SE butthurt.
I'm reminded of Kissinger's statement that "the politics of academia are so vicious because the stakes are so small". A forum-appropriate corollary might be: "The amount of butthurt displayed by the losing party is inversely proportional to the stakes of the contest."
