Rant: To all those with a bad attitude

[davidlong14]

...real common in all sorts of mediated communication, not just on-line poker...part of an increasing general breakdown of civility in society aided & abetted by the ananymity afforded by the medium...

Disable chat, disable avatars, check the muck losing/uncalled hands, and play your game. Online poker players are the scum of the Earth, no point in listening to them, just take their money.

Poker is an adult game, we should act like adults when we play.

And by this I mean the occasional obscenity directed at either the player/cards/or game when a suckout occurs is well within the bounds of an adult game. Typing "S**T" or "F that" when a bad beat occurs is part of the healing process and shouldnt bother anyone.

On the other hand, going on a lengthy rant about "donkeys" and their bad play and how their stats must suck and how they will never win, and how you would truly love to play the ***holes heads up, etc. is really childish and stupid and definitely deters the fish from continuing to play. Slows down the game too.

Swear once and get over it or type nothing at all. If you really need to rant, thats what the BBV forum is for.
