It of course affects your opponent negatively to refer to him/her
as a coward.
These cowards did not believe they were facing certain death, but
merely earning eternal bliss, therefore by definition they are not
courageous, but mere opportunists.
But the fact is they are dead, and those who sent them will soon be
joining them.
