1) It essentially takes the same amount of time and effort to spell something correctly, or formulate a sentence correctly, as it does to do it incorrectly. We're talking simply words and phrases here that serve to bring your point across in an intelligent fashion. You're telling people how unintelligent they are for being dealers, then speaking as if you didn't get past 3rd grade. Thus, the whole "it's the internet, not a legal brief" argument fails.

It's a job that requires very little training or education, is not particularly physically demanding or dangerous, and requires no uncommon skill.
2) The same could be said of many jobs, some of which pay very well and make people very happy. For the 2nd time, what is it that you do for a living?

but I'll tell you it didn't take flipping too many red birds and being made to feel like I just raped the guy's mother rather than paying him 10 times more than what people in fields with similar requirements make out of my own pocket to figure out that spot isn't worth it to me.
3) Yet again, it's tough to make your point when you type things like this. I as well as others will happily debate with you, but this isn't even readable, no one has any idea what this could even mean.

The above simply states that when you trash guys for tipping you $2 for flipping over some cards it's no surprise that you get stiffed.
4) No one did this. I simply asked, increduously, if the guy was serious about tipping $2 on $2000. I stated that it would say a lot about a person if they did this. If you were to do this in any other walk of life in the US - restaurant, bar, etc - you would get laughed at for being socially inept. Period. A $2000 pot at a low to medium stakes game takes effort to tabulate as well as cuts into the number of hands to be dealt during that down. Thus, the pot size does make a difference.

Maybe that's why I don't pitch cards and feel entitled enough to spit at a $2 tip for 2 minutes of work and then play debate club grammar and composition hero in my spare time.
5) I don't understand this. I'm not a dealer. I never said I was, I'm not sure why you'd think I am. So, your comment doesn't apply to me. FWIW, there are a couple of dealers in this thread, but most of the people in the pro-tipping crowd here are simply players who advocate that side of the argument.
