I do not like to play with rude or belligerent players. I don't really mind chat so much, even if I don't engage in it very often anymore. I actually started playing on a membership site back in the day. It was a sort of poker community with it's own forum and chat room. But most of the chatting was done at the tables. Sometimes there would be as many as three or four different conversations going on at single table simultaneously. It was always friendly though.
Nowadays, it's rare to even see someone say NH in the chat box. It seems the only time anyone says anything in the chat box it's to insult someone else or their play. Either that, or you'll get the occasional player that keeps the chat box filled with trash talk because they think they can gain an edge by antagonizing the whole table.
