Table Manners & Total Rudeness

We are still dealing with this matter, & are currently awaiting the Chat Log from PokerStars. We cannot pre-judge the matter.

Both 'Stars and APAT have now reviewed the chat log from the Online series torunament on Saturday night on Flying Pig's table

For their part, 'Stars have revoked the player's chat privileges for one month. Obviously this is a matter outwith APAT's control.

APAT is banning the offending player from membership for life and refunding the membership fee to her.

Women huh!

Can't live with them can't shoot them

I cannot remember the exact details, but a couple of months ago, the UK had it's first official case of INTERNET RAGE!  Apparently, after an on-line argument between two ppl, one traced the other through the info he had used to join the chat forum and went to his house and beat the crap out of him.  Maybe if this becomes a more common occurrence, ppl will think twice before picking fights on-line.

So am I right in thinkin that if we go to cardiff there's going to be a fight??  haven't seen a good bundle in ages 

Mick McCool is too scared.

I was believe it or not in a bit of a scuffle yesterday with a coward of sorts. I went into Melton Mowbray with the dear old lady (85) who lives at the back of our kennels. She was on her way to collect a bag of bones and some hearts and livers for her Bull Terriers. She pulled up beside the LloydsTSB which has a taxi rank beside it. She pulled on to the back end of it as she has a disabled badge and to allow me to go to the Halifax. As l'm coming back down the street to the taxi rank, some big fat twat of a passenger and his wife are getting into a taxi behind Maureens car and he is calling her a stupid old deaf bast*** as he has had to walk a few extra yards. Not being a handbags at dawn sort of bloke l go straight at him and catch him by his jacket and hair and put him on the ground with my knee on the back of the neck. His missus had been laughing while he was launching the verbal abuse at Maureen, now she was screaming. After a little bit of encouragement he apologises to Maureen and l continue with the collection of Maureens stuff.

I had a little visit from Meltons finest last night but luckily it was a small warning and no charges where been pressed.

As for Flushy, he terrifies me.

reminds me of being in france last year on holiday , we were in Versailles, and my missus wanted to go into a shop, but we couldnt get parked. so I just sat in the car (blocking the right turn lane about 50 yards from the traffic lights. I was pretending to read a map, and people were just going round me, no big deal. Except one brave guy who sat behind me beeping his horn. I ignored him, and eventually he pulled alongside, put the window down, and started shouting french obscenties at me. I gave him a hand signal, like basically, "go f..k yourself, and calm down". he then opened the car door, so I thought, bollox to this, and I got out too, and loomed towards him , at which point realising he was fighting at a weight and height way out of his division, ran back to his car, and bolted thru a red light, narrowly missing about 4 cars...

i went back to reading my map....

Is this is something to be proud of?

I haven't seen whatever chat was chatted, but, am I alone in thinking this is a tad severe?



PS If you ask me nicely, I throw in a funky physical confrontation story as well.

[KingPoker]

Smply mad, NO, its not too severe. This would not be acceptable in a live event so why should it be acceptable for some person to hide behind their computer and do it!?

Tower of Power funky?

If someone was to come onto any web forum and hurl abuse at someone, they can forfeit their right to be members of that forum.  It wouldn't be tolerated on here, and many other forums are even more strict in terms of what members can say or do.  Why shouldn't this be the same in an online poker room?

I expect that whatever was said has gone against PokerStars terms of use (hence the 1 month ban), and also infringes on the APAT T&Cs:

We may terminate your Membership if we believe that you have breached any of these Conditions or acted in a manner inconsistent with the spirit of any of them.

I don't know what was said, but it must have been pretty bad.  Maybe if the offender is contrite and apologies profusely sometime down the line, they might be allowed back in to the APAT.  But then again, maybe they won't.  If someone abused someone in a casino in the same manner, it wouldn't be deemed too excessive for the casino to ban that person from ever entering that casino again.  This is simply an extension of that, isn't it?

As for some people saying that you can switch the chat off if someone is being abusive - well that's a solution.  But it's not the right one.  I for one like to chat to others when I'm playing - it seems to help my game for one, and I like to chat in a live game as well - so why not online?  One abusive player shouldn't force the rest of the table to avoid the chat box, it's them that should be gagged and penalised, not everyone else.

Um. OK. Fair enough for APAT, specifically, though I might tend to think in different terms for both online and live poker, in general.
