We need a thread for that. Yesterday had a guy with 4 stacks of red put out a $100 chip for his $2 big blind. I ended up asking the players if someone would break it anyway. /derail.
But as for pointing at people, I've been trained not to do that twice. First, as a new Army officer, we were taught not to point, but rather use what is called in the military the "knife hand", which is all fingers and thumb extended and joined together. It's so prevalent in the Army there are a bunch of memes about it.
The second time was during my orientation for working at the casino. We were taught never to point at a guest. It was considered taboo and extremely rude to do so.
So whether in reality it should or shouldn't be considered offensive, it clearly is by enough people that two large organizations train their people not to do it.
