Rude Online Players

It's amazing how the anonymity of being online turns people into blithering idiots. I would like to think that there aren't actually this many obnoxious people in the world.

Recently, when I got to three-handed in a small online single table tournament (STT), a spectator starting relentless harassing two of the players. He was obviously a friend the third player. His keyboard must've been smoking because he didn't stop typing insults for the rest of the tournament. The other victim of this was raising a lot, and I never had any decent cards to call, plus I had a comfortable chip lead. When three-handed, the best thing that could happen is having the other two players go all-in against each other, and the spectator was trying to goad us into doing exactly that.

This is one of the most serious offenses in online poker, in my opinion - a spectator berating the players in a game. Usually this spectator was never even in the game. Fortunately, you can often turn off the chat, which I did about halfway through this game.

But revenge is sweet, and the other player knocked out the spectator's friend. I went on to win the tournament.

I've grepped the spectator's chat out of the tournament history, and here it is.

I promise you, I know exactly how you feel. I am so sick of rude people online I could scream. I have no clue why they're this way - and it isn't just "a few" - it's many. They seem to think it's somehow smart or stylish to see who can be the rudest.

I'm sorry you experienced that. You sound like a very nice, sensible person and you definitely deserve to be treated with respect.
