Nobody likes an aggressively sore loser. It's annoying.

Also, your analogy holds no water since Shakespeare and George Bush are real people and Tar-Miriel et al are (say it with me everyone) fictional.

fic·tion n.

1.a. An imaginative creation or a pretense that does not represent actuality but has been invented.
1.b. The act of inventing such a creation or pretense.

2. A lie.

3.a. A literary work whose content is produced by the imagination and is not necessarily based on fact.
3.b. The category of literature comprising works of this kind, including novels and short stories.

Finally, saying that you're going to blow up the island because you didn't like the outcome of the game is childish. Or, to put it into another analogy, blowing up games you didn't win today leads to beating up grandmothers and stealing candy from children the next. It's a slippery slope.
