Poker Etiquette Question

why would you care about a guy chip dumping in a cash game?

I suppose for me, it's really just an ethics question, I mean as I said "I'm uncomfortable, but tolorent" of most of what goes on, but someone doing this, to me, is going to far. It's hard enough to play a full table of people, it would get harder if two or more were activally working against you.

at what point were these guys working against you? the hand you cited had one guy giving chips to another in a heads up pot in a cash game.

Well, the host has plenty of cash in front of him and the friend doesn't really have that much (he had about 300 at the start of the hand, and as the game had been running for a while, his stack was pretty small), so it would seem that the host is giving money away to his buddy to keep him up in the game.
If the host wants to loan him money outside the game and bring more chips in, great, if he wants to stake the other player outright, fine, but this seemed as if he was just trying to move chips on the table without buying (think rounders with worm at the Taj).
Also, feel free to call me a nit on this one, I'm asking these questions to get feedback, I don't profess to know everything anyway.

if he was really chip dumping, do you expect him to tell you the truth?
I would just ask the dealer to show you the hand.
