I would like to know if this happens to anyone else and if so i wonder what could be done about this.

What can be done about this? Televesion can start promoting poker for what it is, not its entertainment value and all the people who play just cuz its the cool thing to do can go find something else to do. Online poker ettiquite is bad because about 5% of the people who play poker take the game seriously. Thats my analysis at least.

I get alot of that when people make bad calls. This time of year with the wsop in full swing there is alot of commercials going and every tom dick and harry who wants to learn to play is online...most of whom have no manners AT all.Once the series is over things will calm down again and it will only be the occasion moron, it happens every year. Also dont forget its summer and junior may be on mommy and daddys account.

Yes Dierks , I think that is worse.. However, IMO that is more about inexperience or just stupidy. When it really frustrates me is when, it is a forum buyin and I know that the person who does it knows better and is being a total donk jerk.....................

First and formost.I hate donkeys.I don't lie about it.There's just to many of them.I do get pissed when someone calls 10x the big blind with 5-8offsuit.and beats my k-k or A-A.They should of never called but they do and they hit almost everytime.It drives me nuts.It make me want to crash the site.But there's a federal law against it.most sites need to upgrade there number randomizer.I bet online poker etiquette would be alot better.If the donks would lose more with there shit hands.

I always give credit if they got in cheap or had a good hand and beat me.but I will never say good hand to a donkey who went all-in preflop with 2-10 offsuit.I'm going to call him a donkey.If that doesn't fit the definition.I don't know what is.

sorry if any of you thing thats bad manners.oh well live with it.or as i tell people I play with.If you don't like it report me.see what the site does about it.(hint)there going to do nothing.

ya this happens all the time just yesterday
I was playing against a guy that had aa and
i had q 10 he never made a big enough bet for me
to fold my hand and that the flop came and i hit top 2 pair
off course i checked it he went all in and i called and took
about half his chips .........then he started you donkey this and that
why would you play q 10 why wouldnt I unless you make a big enough
raise to get me to fold not going to fold for a small raise before the flop.
and he just kept going on untill he got knocked out a short time later.
when he went all in with 8 5 off suit whos the donkey?
