In general I hate generalities. I also hate dumbasses. Furthermore I loath bloggers hating on bloggers (Waffles is the exception, he can hate and be hated so carry on). So I am forced to address a topic in generalities because someone is a dumbass and I have to call them out on it, but they are a blogger so I will not hate on them. I will work in the arena a generalities.

When you play online (or live, but most of you whom I'm addressing do this online because you are small dicked little men that like your noses free of blood) and you berate someone for making a play saying things like "oh, I forgot, nobody folds at this level" you sound like an idiot, especially when you lose the pot. You look really dumb, when in retrospect the person had legit reason for 1.) calling down your bluff, 2.) moving in on you and showing air, 3.) make you look like an idiot by exposing your poor play, etc. This is especially unnerving when you call out a fellow WPBT'er. If you mess with the bull you get the horns.

Who are you people that berate anonymous player (you think they are donkeys) in chat? Are you trying to tilt the donkey that just "stole" your pot? What is your game plan? First and foremost DON'T TAP ON THE GLASS YOU DUMB SONOFABITCH! Secondly why would you tell someone that they just tilted you? Thirdly when you make dumb comments to people you don't know, you don't know who you are commenting too. You could be calling a very good player and fellow WPBT'er and idiot.

In case you didn't notice the WPBT tends to get together once in a while. Now you are meeting the much larger individual, that you just called a cocksucker, in person. Where I come from if a man says come on, you damned well better come on. I have never thrown a punch in anger in my adult life. Don't make me, dropping you, break that streak. Alternatively you are forced to seek out the person and apologize. Who wants to do that? You do, if you have any type of balls.

In this same vein, don't comment on other peoples blogs telling them that you are gunning for them (again, unless its Waffles). Especially when in the past you have openly and honestly berated them during the play of a game, upon losing a pot to them. Granted you didn't know you were berating who you were berating, making your future actions all that more stupid.

Quit acting like Phil Helmuth, Prahlad Freeman or Jamie Gold. Act like a man at the table. Take your beats like you're a man. Accept the fact that people make bad plays for bad reasons and still win once in a while. Believe it or not, people hit one outers. They hit them exactly as often as they are supposed to. Oh, and quit bluffing calling stations and then lambasting the calling station for calling, dumbass.

No this is not about "respecting the game". Its about respecting yourself and respecting people. I am sorry that you're 5'7" white kid with the mouth of an NBA star. So get yourself some season tickets and play 6th man for a while. Keep your comments to yourself.

I should add that this story is mostly true and I witnessed half of it, was told the other half and no it did not happen to me. Therefore I don't feel that I should reveal anyone involved. Furthermore the circumstances are such that I might have to explain everything to the parties involved to bring them up to speed. I felt that the what I said needed saying and that if you think this is you STOP IT. And no, its not G-Rob either.

Of course I play tonight and turn into a hypocrite when I do it. I wasn't trying too but I did it. I said something that was taken the wrong way and then followed it up with a running joke one of my friends has. Whenever someone states the obvious my buddy calls them "Dr. Science". So when I tried to console someone and then they stated a fact I called them Dr. Science. I wasn't trying put you down. So I not only have to apologize to you, but pull back on the rhetoric a bit too.

Sorry Dave. It was meant out of love. Really.
