The short version is that I'm emotional and not very good at dealing with abuse at the tables (two big 'X's on the poker players requisite skill sheet right off the bat for me). I could just ignore or mute the offenders (like most normal people probably do) but I can't (couldn't) trust myself not to answer back and get embroiled in a debate which would take precedence over all else and see me timing out on tables, finding myself seeing flops with no idea whether I had been the pre-flop aggressor and generally just making bad poker decisions because I had lost focus.
While you're here Drud - I haven't been spying on you but I did happen to notice you achieved something pretty special at the tables on Wednesday... GG's!

@OldTimer99 is actually VERY solid for these stakes and I've since changed his label accordingly.
