In general, I think poker shouldn't be about intimidating others with speech or mental disturbances, especially since we're talking about a mind sport. If something like this happens frequently, we can see verbal aggression at some point, because all it takes is for a player to be mentally unstable... and feel tormented by their actions, and it can have an unpleasant outcome. Respect is always good and welcome everywhere! [/QUOTE]
