Default Re: Putting Fish to the Flame. Harmless fun, or education?

Do you realize how dumb this post is? Let's look at two players:
Player A is solid, except has the bad leak of limp 83o UTG.
Player B is solid, except has the leak of berating fish whenever he takes a bad beat.

THE LATTER LEAK IS MUCH WORSE THAN THE FORMER, particularly in live games and as the stakes increase. Not because you educate the fish, but because you might drive them off or make the table atmosphere less conducive to gambling. It's even more annoying to everyone else, because this is one of the few poker mistakes you can make that hurts everyone at the table except, ironically, the fish.
