Dear Steve,

It's bad that you're writing them. It's great that you're throwing them away.

The difference between writing these two fundamentally honest responses:

A) This was a badly played hand.
and
B) This hand is an abomination in the eyes of the lord.

is that the latter is cheap. Sure, it's hard to come up with some fresh way to insult people on the internet, but why exactly would you do that?

There are a lot of rationalizations: it gets their attention, it makes the forums entertaining, "oh, I'm just kidding". But essentially, they exchange a lot of the OP's dignity for a little gain on your side. And I say this as someone who has made as many cheap, entirely accurate, and often funny, scathing remarks as anyone else in 2+2 history.

If you can tease out where this contempt and rage and desire to demean comes from, then you can learn to just let them go, which is awesome. Shitbrick.

Dear Bison,

I'll often type up long, scathing, hateful replies to terribly played hands or terrible advice given on the SSNL forum, then when I'm done, I read it over and throw it away without posting it. Is this good or bad?

Steve

I do this a lot. This is why I don't post to the actual poker forums on 2+2.

Dear Bison,

I have middle-class guilt. What should I do?

I don't know, give more money to charity, volunteer more, invent a social/political system which is entirely fair to everyone, maybe.

Dear Spam,

We are at our best and most giving when we are happy. What do you enjoy doing? Do you have a job? Are you in school?

Figure out how to be happy on a day to day basis and you'll find the generosity to do a lot of things.
