How they treated him was disgraceful, and he won't be back to give the 'corporation' his business.
I actually doubt that many (if any) fish/donkeys would actually be coming to this site and read this thread. And, even though it's possible that a few of them have quit becasue of poker-room chat berating, I doubt it's considerable. Still though, I get your point... why take the chance of scaring off even a few. Admittedly I have struggled with keeping my mouth shut at times, especially after some horrendous donkey-reward-days on FTP where I've litterally had 80% of my showdowns lost to morons needing a 4-outer or less.
However, after getting a 3-month chat ban about 6 months ago, I simply never re-applied to have it re-instated. Plus, I've blocked everyone else's chat as well. So now when I get frustrated, I still type horrendous isults in the chat box, but of course they don't go through since I am banned lol.
