So did a SnG last night, and it was all good...nice tight players, everyone paying attention and not being terribly stupid. At least most of us. One user, Serial, was that brand of jerk i love so much, the I'm-an-anonymous-online-user-so-I-can-say-whatever-I-want. verbally abusive, calling people retards, cursing, and the piece-de-resistance, slinging out racial slurs.
All behaviour that NO ONE would indulge in irl, because no one would stand for it. So why do some people think that because it's an online forum, that the rules of good sportsmanship and civilized behaviour don't apply to them? I have to make sweeping generalizations, but it always seems to be the early to mid 20's men (boys) who act like such freaking idiots.
On a personal level, it makes it hard to enjoy the game after that. I was pretty happy that he went out on the bubble...I may have been short stacked, but at least 1) I went out AFTER him, and 2) I made some $ to make up for my lack of attention at the .25/.50 NL table earlier.
