Although it is annoying when players berate or insult others, or try to explain why a play someone made was such a terrible play. If it was, unless you are trying to help that player improve why let them know that when you can exploit it? But oftentimes it wasn't that bad of a play and they are just frustrated that someone made an aggressive semi bluff, got looked up and then hit one of their outs.

While at the time it is annoying to sit through those conversations. It's also quite useful as you are getting an insight into the player who is going off, they will often reveal information on themselves in the process. And if the other player (if it wasn't you) responds, they are giving you information on why they made the move, which is also useful. So it isn't the worst thing.

At the end of the day I don't get the berating acts. Though I understand that some players just get frustrated and lash out. It's bad for poker though. Even if someone made a terrible play and donked you. Going off on them and embarrassing them might turn a bad player away from poker, and that hurts everyone's opportunities to make money. Not to mention it being a jerk move.
