Default Ethics of clogging up high stakes tables

Full Tilt only has a limited number of heads up high stakes tables. Thoughts on players clogging the tables either by sitting alone on every table or by sitting against you and sitting out when one of the two of you has no intention of playing the other. Ethical or not?

if there are a limited number of hu tables, i see nothing ethically wrong with someone sitting alone at every table, however there should never be a circumstance where they sit out at a HU table if they are limited.

if someone sits at a ton of tables and nobody wants to play him, thats not his problem.. but sitting at a table and sitting out so you can chat w/ the rail is REALLY annoying IMO.

i have no problem with anyhting but:

1) sitting at tables with a player already there and sitting out so the table is worthless to the other guy
2) if you could sit at all the possible tables, sitting at all of them, and not allowing any other player ot sit at them alone via sitting out if they sit with you, so no one else can wait for fish, etc.

It is extremely lame when there are four or five guys sitting alone at 25-50 heads-up and not one of them will play me or any of the others.

One of these days I will start sitting at every table. Am I bitter? Yes.

I don't think it's unethical if you sit and are willing to play anyone. If you clog up all the tables and simply wait for noataima to sit and don't let anyone else play, thats a problem.

I think it's also hilarious when ppl like kaintd (although he only does this at 5/10) will sit alone at like 6 tables, and will NEVER play anyone. Same thing w/ a bunch of 10/20 doofballs.
