PlayerOne:
I don't get why I am always made out to be the bad guy in these situations when essentially all I am doing is standing up to bullies. I try to generate chat at tables because it livens the game up, all I get in return from other players are snide remarks and negative comments. Dani I think you are the only decent person on this site, god knows what is wrong with the others.
May I suggest something here,.....instead of standing up to bullies....try your best to ignore them (i know it isnt easy), but if you respond to them it only aggravates the situation....and please call a MOD, you may not believe this, but we are here to help.
Hope you will try this, hey maybe I could be right ;-)
