but I will now be playing with all chat silent. While I respect and enjoy chatting with many of you, there are always a handful of morons in there who love to laugh at you when you lose, even if they aren't in the hand.
You try to say "nh" or "well played" and they refuse to answer, but are quick to make fun of your bad luck. I usually don't know who these miserable jerks are until it happens, so I can't preemptively silence them. This place seems to have just gotten worse and worse with rude behavior. Maybe a lot of people are frustrated because there is nothing much to gamble on right now?
