B&M rule question

The reason for the tone is that there is still a code of ethics and honor in cardrooms. When this code is bastardized by those who believe that the lack of an implicit rule against something is the same thing as a license to do that thing, it makes me sick.

So, wait. Do people who fold to keep the small stack alive on the bubble for their own personal gain bother you? Or are you more annoyed by the mucking of the cards as an attempt to try and subvert a rule? The latter makes some sense to me, but I don't see the former as being any kind of ethical violation, just a tactical ploy.

But it is precisely the fact that he doesn't even see why what he was doing was wrong that is worrisome.

This is a subject for lengthy debate. I don't think it's as simple as asserting that he's wrong. I've played with people who refused to allow checkraises. Does that mean that checkraises violate the secret, unspoken code of poker?
