Trash talk in poker rooms, internet or otherwise

[mrh86]

I won't make a long initial post about the subject, but I'd like to hear some of your views about this matter. I believe that trash talking, and even demeaning the way in which one plays should be ILLEGAL in poker rooms, especially in internet rooms where the other party is completely safe and anonymous. I consider any sentence typed that could affect another party negatively in a gambling situation a form of internet extortion. I don't want to turn off the chat, as poker is supposed to be a social game. At the same time, I don't want some lazy, unshaven slob who can't succeed at any other area of life that requires effort talking trash to potentially put others or myself on tilt simply because there are little to no repercussions.
