The proper way to proceed here is for the competitors to tune out the background noise and not worry about this intangible BBS "hate" that so many are talking about. There is no reason why they can't fight and still be friends. Look at Tom and Jerry, they are buds at the end of almost every episode even though they constantly pwned each other for an entire toon day. Learn from the true toon gods how to be a toon, pwn like a toon, and still be friends in the end.
