Thats just telling someone they should re-think their strategy in a forcefull manner. I usually don't write anything but if you happened to be in my house at the time of a particulal Monkey play that takes me out, you would be educated in how many swear words can be combined in one sentence..lol What I have found is the "abuser" is normally some teenager pretending to be an adult and lashing out to see if they can get someone to respond. They hide behind the annonimity(sp?) of the internet which gives them a percieved position of power. When I first started playing a while ago, when someone said s**t a moderator would immediately jump in an say "watch your language". Nowadays, with the explosion of Poker, I don't think the sites even attemt to watch the tables. I also think they are so understaffed, they don't or can't respond to all of the complaints. So, we are pretty much left to our own devices to handle this which is unfortunate. It gives the game a bad name. It usually never bothers me. I ignore it. But I can understand how it would ruin the experience for others. Maybe the sites could pick some regular players and make them "police" or something. Besides turning the chat off, I don't know what else can be done. GO SIXES...lol Gopher, calling someone an idiot for playing the game in a way it shouldn’t be played is not abuse, in my opinion.

Strange how we did write about the same subject thou. Can it be that the personal abuse at the onlinetables increases to the level that more people take offense. It's good that we do debate the thing and that more people start to oppose to those who can't behaive with manors when none else but them selves to blame for loosing. I mean as you say to question a opponents strategy or why someone got into a hand they shouldn't is one thing, the pointless jumping on others race, gender, sex or religion is totally another thing that have nothing to do with the game hence have nothing to do at the table. Sad part is you never will get an answer from those people on the question of why the **** they do this. Due to idiocy, chickeness i guess, positive side of this is they do prove how stupid, ignorant they are and that generates more money for us but no fun way to win..... Glad you're back hon and see ya at the table and with the skypecrew. Thanks for your comment in my blog and welcome back from your trip you….you….you (green wih envy)
