When The Vulgar Ones Play Poker

Nov 14, 2008 3:16 pm Report Abuse

Hello fellow railbirders: I am going to be blogging on the costant use of profanity on the tables without any context to what is being said or by what is going on at the tables i.e. playing poker. Now i know i will get the 'why dont you mute them " remarks from many. I can honestlysay i have yet how do you mute a horde or people. I mean this phenomena has so taken over the tables we now have observers saying "FU" on such a continuous basis. These are not players who represent this very site! Perhaps i missed something maybe these players have a disease that causes them to act in such a mannar, maybe they weren'r brought up right, maybe they just cant help themselves. I just think no i know they could care less about what they say to anyone. The sad thing is even here on Railbirds players cannot be called out regardles of how pathetic they act on the tables.

I ask you when was the last time any of you were in Vegas, AC, or Reno? Have you observed continually verbage such as 'FU" or other quaint cuss words? I dont think so in fact just being loud can get you thrown out of some poker rooms! On televised Pro events do we see players cursing continually? No and im not talking about "The mouth " here. On televised events you see the players focusing and discussing the game at hand not being abusive in their language! Perhaps i am old fashiioned. I mean i came to play cards and expected others to do the same! These online abusers even take to using such language when they get beaten in a hand . Wow talk about sore loser, is this is what the pros do berate and curse continually or do they mute?

We pride ourselves on having freedom of speech and this is what makes our country a great one. With that is the freedom to choose what you will read and to what you will listen; no one is required to pay attention to anything. I have a difficult time seeing those who have commend of but one adjective as capable of making statement at all. If some people choose to express themselves in terms which turn off a major part of the players that’s their problem. I for one think that you are a foul-mouthed boors, it shouldn’t be surprising that this is the way they are all the times. They have defined themselves and their purposes quite well not by their actions or their good deeds not by strength but by contiually taking the low road and being vulgar .....

Thanks as always for reading and gl to all on and off the felt ..

Profanity = A weak minds attempt, at forceful speech !

Those who use vulgar language during games, know there are few consequences for their actions, so feel safe in doing so. They really have weak personalities, and the rest of us need to realize that those few, are the lower class of humans, and need to feel what they falsely believe, is a domination of others ! The act makes them feel "big", so it won't ever stop !

I agree, but you can't card on the internet. The're most likly 14-15 yrs old, but like TC said just knuckleheads. But there chat will be in hand history..........have the site email you your last five hands or so......and send it back re:chat abuse the good sites take swift action and ban these people from chat. I hope you take this into concideration and do this in the future. It will make a better poker enviroment for everyone.

Thank you just wrote a blog on much the same issue, but you put it much succintly than I could have.
arb68 Nov 14, 2008 4:48 pm

Is this an unknown offshoot of Tourette's disease, vile type Tourette's? ..

But seriously these knuckle head are either Trying to wind you up or just mentally disturbed.

Either ignore them, this is what I tend to do or call a moderator to the table to stop it.

GL at the table all and hope you don't run into anyone with Vile Type Tourette's.

Profanity is the uneducated answer to conflict resolution... I often wonder also if they are just 16-year-old children hiding behind a monitor... whereas if they were in person face to face it would be a different story... the thing is, you remember their name, you remember their actions... it takes a lifetime to build a reputation, which you can lose in one second...

nice blog!
Good luck on the felt

Problem is you curse too much in a casino they dont give you a chat ban they give you a total ban. Until the poker sites become willing to ban players totally for chat abuse, it will always be a problem
Spaz Nov 14, 2008 5:35 pm
block them or ignore them, they're just words
thehawk595959 Nov 14, 2008 5:37 pm
I agree with you completely. It seems that in todays world the use of profanity is part of the current lifestyle. Being a teacher and a soccer referee I have found that the "younger' generation feel that it is an acceptable part of life. Its sad to see this.
Simmdale Nov 14, 2008 5:43 pm

Yes...it is truly sad. It is the result of the way this younger generation was brought up. The teachers have been cuffed on teaching discipline, mores, ethics, civics... all gone by the wayside. The result of that shows throughout our society now.

atm808 Nov 14, 2008 5:49 pm
People do that to try to get you off your game....that's when you turn your chat off!
Rashenoff Nov 14, 2008 5:49 pm
Yes we see alot of this on online poker! On Doyles room they block out the punks chat so you don't have to read it:}
Phoo Nov 14, 2008 6:35 pm
I was railing a fellow donkey one nite and the chip leader was at his table. The chip leader was being really abusive and vulgar to everyone. I cut and pasted the chat and e-mailed it to FTP chat abuse and within minutes the abuser's chat was revolked and they blocked his play!!! it was funny. You could feel his anger through the monitor!!!
DanG78 Nov 14, 2008 6:51 pm
I know how u feel. i have gotten to the point that I dont even pay attention to chat. as you have seen from the times I have totally ignored you on the tables.
jcup235 Nov 14, 2008 6:56 pm
Personally speaking, "curse" words does not offend me although I respect others enough to realize that it does offend others so I don't use it myself; neither online or in my daily life offline. What does get to me is when people make personal attacks against others at the table. When I first began playing online on FT there would always be a monitor at big tables, both final tables and large buy-in ring games. Now there is never one around. I can't imagine what caused their change but I'd like to see it change back.

Truth....Well Said!!!
flipnine Nov 17, 2008 8:56 pm

I HAVE BEEN SWORE DOWN MANY TIMES ON THE FELTS. I USUALLY LOOK THE PLAYER UP ON OFFICIAL POKER RANKINGS AND REMIND THEM OF THEIR NEGATIVE R.O.I. THEN THEY USUALLY SHUT UP.

xBIGxJOHNx Nov 17, 2008 9:28 pm
WTF IS WRONG WITH SPEAKING YOUR F**KING MIND. THAT IS THE STUPIDEST S**T IVE EVER F**KING READ. IF I WANT TO CUSS MY F**KING AZZ OFF I SHOULD BE ABLE TO. ITS FREE G*D D**N SPEACH FOR F**KS SAKE.
xBIGxJOHNx Nov 17, 2008 9:33 pm

I DONT PERSONALLY DO THIS BUT I THINK TO ENJOY FREEDOM MEANS YOU HAVE TO PUT UP WITH SOME JERKS EVERY NOW AND THEN.

JUST EXERCISE YOUR CAPACITY TO FILTER OUT UNNEEDED AND/OR UNWANTED INFORMATION. DONT REPLY TO THEM IT JUST FEEDS THEIR ANGER AND GIVES JUSTIFICATION TO CONTINUE KNOWING IT IS GETTING TO YOU.

xBIGxJOHNx Nov 17, 2008 9:35 pm

P.S. PLEASE KEEPYOUR EYES OFF MY NEGATIVE R.O.I.

WHATEVER THAT IS
