I had a bunch of friends there who were pretty emotionally involved with everything too, but not once did they say or do anything to distract or diss my opponent, even when he called a 30bb shove with K4.
I don't think you get the right to type stupid stuff about an instruction site, just because a member of the site was not acting like a total gentleman while watching a friend of his play for a lot of money and getting sucked out non stop.
You are way over-reacting. And you make your reaction in public. Just send him a pm if you want to have a word with him. If you did that, it would be an ok reaction, and I am pretty sure he might have blogged about it, saying he is sorry.
And yeh, that "I am better than raptor in 6max" comment was pretty funny. It is like thesnowflake's 6MAX4ROLLZ challenge. I think he would eat 99.9% of online players alive in an equal number of tables ip an oop. Maybe you are an exception, but if you agree he will crush you in HU, I don't think you are.
Edit: and yeh, I would bet 30% of my net worth 1:1 on a fair bet on whether or not he will crush your winrate in 6max, or in any kind of NLHE.
