I tell some guy I\'m colluding. Is this OK?
 

I had a funny experience last week playing a small stakes tourney on Pokerstars.

I don't have the HH or the chat transcript, but some time in the middle of the tournament we play this hand. Fishy limps in MP, I raise on the button with K4o, BB who has 1.5BB in total calls, and fishy folds. BB wins the pot.

After the hand fishy asks "why the raise?" "moron". I don't tap the glass. I say "BB is my buddy", "I don't want him knocked out at this stage of the tourney". Fishy jumps on me and tells me I am colluding and cheating. I'm having too much fun stirring the sh:t at this point and tell him "it's hardly cheating to help a buddy out". He threatens to tell Stars support. A third player chimes in and tells me "RoundTower in future I wouldn't mention that in public".

This went on for quite a while. I'd post the chat transcript if I had it.

Am I being a dick here or is this harmless fun?

This is the equivalent of making a joke that you have a bomb in airport security. Not cool and bound to get you in big trouble. Much safer to just not do it.

He's right, you're just setting yourself up for a world of hurt.

What they said....
not to mention the BB "buddy" may not appreciate being dragged into the "joke"

not a good idea bud. Even though you were justo joking,
you could get your account suspended

stars doesnt suspend, they send an endless amount of warnings!

Not cool. You could have gotten your account frozen and the innocent's "buddy's" too.

Come on, no way Stars are suspending me for this. Worst case scenario I get an email asking me to explain myself, I explain how I'm not an idiot and have never played with the guy before, and they laugh it off.

Any time you can have your post accurately summarized to read "I acted like a complete douche...was that ok?", it was not OK.
