Smash Lord
I'll start off the 7A topic.
If its a regular match, friendly, whatever, and something absolutely epic happens and both agree to stop the match to save it, go for it. Its all in the matter of both parties in agreement though, so if one doesn't want to stop, but the other does anyway, that's utter disrespect.
Tournament matches itself. The only way I can see it being in a respectful way is if one person has to leave for something, be it a ride came and there's no way to negotiate 5 more minutes of playtime with them, or an emergency occurs (a real one, not "omg, girlfriend/boyfriend called me, I have to leave"), and both people agree and shake hands on it.
The term "rage quit" is there for a reason. You're so angry about how something isn't going your way, and you quit out (possibly with a followup of a controller slam). Its definitely disrespectful to the other player and others watching, but it could be up there for as disrespectful as disrespectful gets. No one likes a quitter, and no one likes a whiny smasher either.
