what is important is that people have the right to quit anytime they feel like it, and to sit back down whenever they feel like it. most cardrooms u can even rathole the same table as long u wait 30 min to an hour to sit back down.
You actually contradict yourself in the second part of your post. If you have to wait 30 minutes to an hour then you actually can't sit back down whenever you feel like it. Cash games are great because you can come or go as you please but you are trying to skew the rules to benefit your view.
I think you are repeating yourself with the different player thing(which I addressed). You seem like you shortstack and rathole yourself so you will probably think it's ok no matter what and I doubt you will listen to any logical argument against it since you want to do it and you feel it benefits you.
The ONLY reason people rathole is to take money out of play(effectively the same as going south), which would be against the rules if they stayed at the same table so it's not ok. It can also hurt all the players at the table and the casino by making it shorthanded and possibly breaking the game just to take that money out of play.
I don't want to derail this thread having a debate that has been had extensively in other threads so I won't keep posting on this topic in this thread after this. If you want to continue the conversation through PM feel free.
