My Chat Banned!

Generally, I'm not an abusive player. Live and let live, is my motto. But, what a bunch of EGOMANIACS at PokeStars.

Now I'm not the most chivalrous one at all times, and can respond at the lowest of levels. - what's a little abrasiveness at the table? This is poker, not the Olympics...sometimes we just steeeeeeeeeam, if at either a player is rewarded by the poker gods for their dumb play, or they say something out their mouths straight, that we know should come sideways.

Let me tell you, I haven't witnessed a more sensitive, cry-babying, bunch of weiners than the players at PokerStars.

Here's a notice from PokerStars:
