I am the exact kind of person who the people playing 15 tables want to play, and truly at a $6.50 SNG any kind of insults isn't really going to get me to change the way I play.
I agree with you and also a previous post saying that, in reality, its the recreational players who are doing this. I usually identify idiot players by that kind of talk. A professional will know better. Well, most of them...
