Angus, I often agree with you, but not here.

Sounds like the table where sternroolz was playing had a fine vibe going. People were having a good time and feel content to pull open their wallet and buy in again and again.

Now it may be that in other games, a rebuy represents a wish to get even, and a competitive air does not discourage that. But if they are rebuying because they are having a good time, the last thing you want is someone making them feel stupid for doing so.

Someone using the word "donkey" to describe players, even someone outside the table referring to other players outside of the table, can introduce a competitive spirit that was not already there, and ruin the mood.
