Is it really bad to gloat when right? When people are right, let them gloat. Why does that matter? As long as they aren't trying to make the people who were wrong feel bad about it.

As long as they aren't trying to make the people who were wrong feel bad about it.
But that's precisely what gloating implies.

For the arrogant detractors, sometimes a well placed "I fucking told you so" wakes them up like a fresh pot of coffee.

Gloating has the connotation of making others feel bad. "Bragging" is more in line with emphasizing your successes without disparaging others.
