i went to table 1 to have some fun but i was shocked when somebody named
beejhelle said that boypusod is from the poor country, phillipines. i am proud to be from there but do you think its right to say that even though i dont know him? i got so mad that i left table 1 thinking that its not fun on that table!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

boypusod, you are right to be upset. Good to hear that you are proud of your country and culture. Only ignorant people measure worth by wealth. The Phillipines is a beautiful country with rich culture and nature.

But don't leave because of what was said. Stay and play and stand up to mean people. This site has a few, but it has far more wonderful friendly people from all over the world.

The MODs will stick up for you against those kind of comments if you get them to come to your table.

...yeah that Bento #1 guy pretty much rocks ...

Boypusod - nobody can reject you if you don't reject yourself - so just copy his chat and post it on the moderation attention thread ... then you'll be doing us all a big favour by helping the mods muzzle or ban that unfortunately ignorant guy. You have to feel sorry for him, in a way.

I don't know who beejhelleb is.. but i hope he gets,s banned for this, or at least muzzled.

There is no room in society for racism.

boypusod

I'm truly sorry you had to suffer such behaviour, but please don't feel like you have to get up and leave a room because of it. In the end these idiots will get what's coming to them, so stand firm, with your head held high and laugh at their small brains and even smaller appendage.

Theres no place for racism in this wonderfull site !!!
We all come from different nations, for me and many of us I hope the skin color, the nationality or even the sexe have nothing to do with playing poker or chating with someone.

In this world theres 4 things that create war, money, nationality, religion and skin color. What if we could forget about all those things ?? I know none of those can be forgot but on a web site all we see from someone is a name and a way of talking so its much more easyer to forget about all those above.

So if any events like boy described happen, it should result with an automatic ban !!! From my part a warning isnt enough with those ppl, cause they think like that and they will never change with a simple warning.

I love this site and I love everyone here who makes the center of the site. Any new comers are well welcome when they start on the table im in. But if any of them start talking like that beejhelleb, they get the other dan who cant stand those things.

So guys if anything like that happen while you are at a table, do like Panda said please copy/paste the log into the modertor attention thread so they get what they deserve !!!

Peace is hard to acheive but so easy to do !!!

sincerly yours danm !!!

Very very very well said dan...could not agree more!

This is a terrific site...it's made that way by the people who populate it...there is definitely no room for racism, or people who think that way!

Unfortunately there is way too much of it in the world!

Let's not allow it to corrupt this wonderful place as well!

Yeah, not a fan of the "grow a thick skin" and just "deal" with people who say abhorrent things....

Jokes ain't funny when they hurt, comments aren't okay....when they harm.

Yeah, nobody can make you feel like crap, unless you allow them too...but after awhile, this whole "names can never hurt me" just doesn't always fly.

Sorry you went through this, and as Woosh says -we are on it.

On this note...

Please, if any of you witness abuse of any kind towards another player, please do as others have suggested and copy the chat.

We'd very much appreciate that.
Thank you.

Daniella,
Can you please explain how to "copy the chat" so that other players may understand the process.
Also, what is the name of the thread we should copy it to.
Thanks, Los28.
