I have a few thoughts about the recent discussion of blogger tourney chat politeness, or the lack thereof. I’m not in the mood to do much typing though, so let me summarize my thoughts with colorful pictures for you.
Apparently, there are a few people who think we should act like this, Exhibit A…
But most bloggers think they play and act more like this, Exhibit B…
The truth is, there’s alot of people that play and act like this, Exhibit C…
So when the players who think they are Exhibit B, but are usually closer to Exhibit C, lose a pot to another player that they feel is definitely an Exhibit C, they get mad. Sometimes they turn into this… Exhibit D…
Exhibit D thinks he’s picked on, but he’s really not. It’s just that he’s not able do take the same crap that he’s dished out over the years. He thinks he’s a big target, but the truth is, he’s worked hard to make himself a big target. Funny thing is, that’s his plan all along, and it’s actually worked to a (very) small degree.
Bottom line… If chat bothers you, turn it off. I’ve gone off on occasion in the chat box, but I’ve learned that it’s not worth it. You’re gonna lose hands to bad players making bad plays, and even to good players who make bad plays, at this point, there’s no reason to get too worked up about it.
That is all,
