Rudeness on Two Plus Two
I noticed that there are a lot of rude commentors on Two Plus Two. I've also noticed that there are alot of rude people playing online as well. Does poker and gambling bring out the worst in people or do people with abrasive personalities gravitate towards it? Cause I wish people could just remain civil....

Re: Rudeness on Two Plus Two
There are a lot of reasons for what you are talking about. One of the reasons is simply the internet. People are less inhibited by social norms on a message board. Most people here are anonymous also, therefore, repercussions for rude language are minimal.

Yes, live poker players are bastions of decency.

Yeah, good point. However, I would lay good odds that most 2+2ers are much nicer in person.

Re: Rudeness on Two Plus Two
its an annonymous way to be a dick to people. Ever been to a chatroom or player an online game such as Starcraft or Quake or whatever? Also I a decent ammount people who are skilled technically might not have spent that much time on interpersonal relationships.
That said I find most 2+2ers and also most people playing the low mid-high stakes games to be very friendly and intelligent people.
