    I don't know about you guys, but when I'm playing in a "home game," we do things such as curse like stable boys, talk about what we'd like to do to Angelina Jolie, and watch "training films" of Busty Belle and Peter North while smoking illegally obtained cigars. There are no "RNG's," no "appropriate use of chat," or any other pansy-ass rules of conduct. Sometimes we argue and drag each other's mother or sister into things. In other words, good old-fashioned Red State fun!

    I think there should be an online poker site that doesn't have mother hens and hypersensitive support personnel monitoring and examining chat logs. There should be a place where potty mouths like me can go and express how we feel during a hand in a cash game, or even engage in a long tirade after getting a bad beat bounce out of a tournament. A site for REAL MEN.

    I find the notion of ANY online poker site being "family oriented" absurd. As Hellmuth would say, that's just an effing jopke! At least in the USA, we're violating laws by playing online and most of us not reporting our income (for those of us that actually turn a profit). Yeah, we can argue the legality of it, but one way or the other, those ass clowns in D.C. are going to step in and end all of the good fun we are enjoying online. Our days are numbered. But I digress... The point is, until then, we need a site where we can be ourselves.

    To me, one of the great things about poker is rugged individualism. None of that mamby pamby "team" shit they're teaching in college these days. No, you don't see Bax or Halling attending Six Sigma seminars or pulling a week at Disney University learning how to tolerate the vagaries of multi-culturalism and "diversity." No sir, poker is about the cards and you against the world.

    We need a site that recognizes this dubious moral ethic. Lord knows there is a crook or two already running these sites, so why not have the stones and have a site for people like me that are completely morally bankrupt?

    I ask The Powers That Be to give this some thought.

    Sincerely,

    Elvis F. Henry

    I agree, there should be a site for the kiddies.

    I don't think World Poker Exchange censors or monitors chat at all.......I have seen many 'F' words and 'C' words and many other 'sailor' kinda words thrown about at will at WPEX........actually seems kinda nice to not need to worry about the silly 'chat ban'.........

    Anyone getting offended can simply turn the player chat off........this is a perfect free speech forum.....if you don't like the speech, turn the player chat OFF......you can still see the dealer chat....

    ...only problem at WPEX is a severe LACK of players........often difficult to find the kind of game you wanna play in.......

    I was chat banned at a Prima site for a while because I ASKED a player if he was 'gay'......I really thought he WAS gay......is the word 'gay' banned at most sites ? I am still pissed about this......

    i think they ban people from chat because they know that cussing a lot relieves tilt. i probably generate more rake when i'm expressing my frothing outrage with overbets than when i'm cool and collected after a nice, healthy tirade.
