Re: What ever happened to good manners and Class in poker?

Even worse are the posses who yell at the opponents - sometimes during a hand:

Jerry Yang limped and Hevad Khan raised 500,000. Yang called. The flop was {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Yang checked. Khan counted out his chips and gently pushed out a 650,000 bet. Khan had been unusually quiet and he sat in dead silence. Jerry Yang counted down his chips then announced a raise to 1,650,000. Khan looked at Yang then looked at the board before he moved all in for 1,825,000 more. Yang stood up as Khan sat in silence looking down at his cards. Yang went into the tank for a few minutes and stared at Khan.
"Get a read yet?" shouted someone from the rail.

TD should be ejecting that guy on the spot.
Earlier someone's friend yelled at an opponent after opponent won a bad beat.
Let the players play (and if they so decide, to be classless in the spirit of the history of poker). Spectators should STFU.

That absolutely sucks. Last year at the WSOP FT, they had a list of spectator rules posted outside the seating area, which included not heckling other players. While people would cheer when their player won a hand, there wasn't any taunting/heckling...TD should definitely take care of that nonsense.
