I was interested in this anecdote about the board games, but it seems like there's at least some dispute about how true or inflated this story is:

I think it's easy to believe a narrative like this about someone generally disliked, but the reality about basically everyone is that we have good moments and bad moments. People that are famous are constantly being watched and evaluated.

Given the inevitability of those bad moments being observed and reported, I don't think it's a good foundation for evaluating someone's character. In this case, it's mostly useful for confirming an already negative point of view.

Sure, one single anecdote doesn't say much.

But at this point it would be hard to say that Zuck is not a toxic individual. Not everyone is toxic.

from the article you linked, it seems that Zuck told everyone else to gang up on the next hardest player so he could win.

That they went along with it is... kind of in line with what Wynn-Williams said. Would they still have all teamed up on Zuck's opponent if Zuck hadn't been their boss?
