A great community usually does have a healthy respect for the rule of law. And part of the law's purpose is to be a restraint on people's behavior. That's a good thing as it helps make for a great community.

Competition with one's self could also be a form of competition in PvE. Improving at the game, and overcoming the odds of whatever piece content they are doing.
Competition with one's self is not PvP and does not excuse insulting other people.
