** To All Forum Posters: A Note on Tone **

[entertainme]

There's a trend in posts in the last 24 hours with titles such as:

"Do you hate Jerry Yang already?"
"Khan Acted like a retard and I am glad he is gone"
"Phil Gordon is a Horses Ass"

In my opinion, all of these only serve to make the forum look bad.

Don't get me wrong. I'm all for free speech. Yet, any of these ideas can be expressed just as well without the grade school name calling.

2p2 is the highest volume poker forum to my knowledge, which is why the site gets mentioned for example on the WSOP PPV broadcast.

Please give it two seconds thought before proceeding directly to the gutter. I really think we're better than this. I'm confident that the tons of intelligent posters that participate here can demonstrate that.

Thank you,

thank you

[Austiger]

I agree completely.

[Dranoel]

Yup. Makes us look like a bunch of idiots.

I too am all for free speech, but let's at least be civil about it.

YMMV

So are you saying my next thread:

"I want to dutch oven Phil Gordon with Mickey's Big Mouth hangover farts until his nostrils bleed"

would not be well-received?

Well said, I agree.

Make your point with constructively critical and logical posts. This is much more effective than sounding like a 2 year old

Well, at least don't put it in the title line...

In the future, to avoid looking like a 2yr old when insulting those who indeed deserve to be insulted, use the Shakespearean Insult Generator.
