I agree that people will act in their own best interest. It is just that we define it differently. To some people it means do whatever you can, to others it means do what you can without getting caught, to another it means follow the rules because life is better that way, to others it means if someone does not follow the rules then punish him severely, etc. etc. etc.
In this case, I believe that our best interests are served by applying all the heat we can to Absolute Poker. That means that we should refrain from making conciliatory remarks before the results are even in. Others see it as an opportunity to play there.
Different definitions of self interest.
