I don't mind a well played or a threaten or whatever when they land the last hit, as long as they do it promptly enough and haven't been roping/emoting constantly throughout the game.
The one that tends to annoy me is "thanks" after you've conceded.
....it's hard to read intent, though.
Like I read that as "thank you for playing badly." And I'd hit "Well played" in that situation, much like how you'd shake your opponent's hand after a game of chess.
But I suppose it would be equally valid to read it as "thank you for giving me a win" and "well played" as sarcastic. Obviously you haven't played well enough when you're hitting concede, after all.
That said, the exchanges I've had with people who add me as friends tend to suggest that the more pessimistic interpretation is the correct one.

I usually let my opponent play out their hand when I know I've lost.
Go ahead, pull off your big combo, it costs me maybe 10-20 seconds of my life and it's what I'd hope my opponent would do in that situation.
I would very rarely let them take my win condition, wait for them to end their turn, play out my next turn, hit end turn and wait for them to kill me with my own win con the turn after that. So if I've no way to counter it, take it back or win the game next turn I'd almost always concede at that point.
Emote then concede when you've definitely lost isn't BM.
