The lack of class.

Some of these responses make me laugh. Being rude is revolutionary? And someone who doesn't approve of rude behavior is wrong for trying to force his cultural views on other people? Most of the time when I hear responses like this, I think someone is just trying to justify acting like a jerk. A little common sense will tell you that certain types of behavior aren't acceptable regardless of the circumstances.

The discussion of the alleged lack of class among today's poker players reminds me of a conversation with Bonnie Damiano I had at the 2004 WSOP:

A second $50-$100 stud/8 table had just been started, and it had a seat waiting for me. Bonnie Damiano was at the table, wearing a ClassicPoker.com blazer. She was due to be interviewed by a crew from CBS News imminently, about online poker. "I'm going to tell them what's different about Classic Poker," she told us.


"What is different about Classic Poker?" I said.


"It's classier! The software is classier, the graphics look great, and players are going to be well-dressed."


"Does that mean," I asked, "that we won't be able to play online in our underwear?"
