I prefer not to speak on ladder, at all, even glhf. It avoids these types of situations.
I atleast try to get the glhf out just because of manners, and I feel as if it's customary

Customary? Yes. Are you a douchebag if you don't do it? Yes.
As for gg'ing out, I feel that that is something you only do if you feel they deserve it, or you're in a tournament where the vods are being recorded. If they do something totally cheesy that was impossible to stop, even after scouting, then you don't GG. For regular games, you say a normal gg, because all games are good unless they were MHing, cheating, or abusing a broken tactic. If you felt a game was really good, then you say GFG. It's just being polite, and if someone is BM to you, just ignore it or troll them to the ground for giggles.

I hope you read this, because in higher leagues no gas with one gate and core means fast expand. so next time you see that, keep the possibility of a one gate fe in mind

I don't think he is cocky but he is just joking around. He probably just wants to see how you will react.

I've run into a bunch of shittalking and BM in bronze also. In BRONZE!
It's kinda funny when a bronzer calls you a 'noob' or says you suck.
We're in bronze dude, we all suck. lol
One game, I said 'glhf' and the response was 'fuck you.' I almost quit right there, not wanting to deal with that kind of stuff, but I didn't want to let him win like that.
I try not to BM or trash talk, but the offensive gg really pisses me off. It usually happens RIGHT as I'm about to say gg and leave, but then, since I'm mad, I'll take all my drones and make extractors at every expansion on the map, and then go afk for a while. It's my silent BM revenge.
I do like to compliment people though. It usually totally catches people off-guard, If someone does some good drops or a nice harass or something, then I like to tell 'em. Compliments usually disarm BM but not always, sometimes the response is like, 'yea, you suck!'
Most of the time, if they're a BM-douche in-game, then they're probably a BM-douche IRL too.
oh well.
Actually, the most BM I get is from my roommate, lol, he has like the worst sportsmanship ever. When he's losing, he won't even leave the game, he'll just come into my room talking shit about mutas and lings, haha. Even after he's dead, he'll harass with his only 2 units till I hunt down every last pylon.
He placed into silver in season 1 and only plays MAYBE 10 games each season. He hasn't played enough games for the ladder to demote him! So he outranks me, eventhough he uses NO hotkeys or control groups (save for 1A, which hardly counts) and has like 13 apm. Sometimes I let him win so he wont rage at me, but then he gloats about how good he played, I'm not sure which is worse. Yea, dude, your mass-cannon build was great. Haha.
also on the topic of BM:
Awesome/Confusing BM

I dont think so, I think "GG" and "gl hf" is like a handshake before and after match like in every other sport (soccer, boxing, golf and so on) and if ur not doing handshake after or before game (even if u lose) u will look like kid or douchebag or both.
edit: i know from my own experience that it is really hard sometimes to gg after shitty school/work day or week when enemy is going for 8minute match but I feel you just should do it (because those habits has been long time in starcraft scene)
EDIT2: OK... one exceptation! I did read one post above me and there was text about offensive gg so if I meet that im gonna make damn sure that the game is being played longest possible and i will not type gg no matter what.

There's also the "Fake GG into motherfucking carriers!" bronze mainstay

usually on ladder games, i try to talk to them if they are nice, and if they arent i just do an early push and murder them, as they are so distracted from their typing
