    There is a big difference between people joking around and calling FTP rigged, and being blatantly anti-semetic. If you can't tell the difference, you need to get a reality check.

    hey johnny,
    Its perfectly fine to talk trash about ones play or the quality of their play if you must, but to use what some people consider ethnic slurs is not acceptable! Poker is supposed to be a game of class among gentlemen and if you cannot respect the tradition and etiquette you shouldn't be allowed to speak. Refrain from your racial slurs and I am sure FT would have not banned you.

    I am not making fun of anybody Jewish... Jewdonk is the nickname of a poster on Neverwinpoker... see a post in OT about it.

    So if the term "jew" itself is offensive why dont they ban the rumored to be Todd Brunson account "Jewanda" ???

    I was saying "FREE" Jewdonk... NOT that I hate him! Calm down and relax. See Neverwinpoker to figure out who Jewdonk is.

    I dont hate anybody that is Jewish and have Jewish ancestry in my Geneology so really I don't think it is in my best interest to hate anybody of any origin, religion, or race at this point.

    I watched the FT this morning and I doubt you are the only one getting a chat ban. FTP does a lot of chat bans after one of their "pros" is at a final table. They must actually monitor that chat.

    I'm all for chat bans, too many people say a lot of shit they just would never have the balls to say to someone in person, way i see it, if you cant give them a good slap, get their chat banned

    Hirax, can you tell me what classifies in observer chat at FT that is "Meaningful"??

    Are the guys that are sitting there drooling over Clonie Gowen telling her she is beautiful and asking if she is single is their chat meaningful?? Do they get banned?
