in real life I never lie, I never cheat, I never bully people and I certainly never break a promise

kicking some one eon when they are down would not even be a consideration

why then do I love doing all these things when I play poker?

secretly am I an arsehole?

PauliF: yeah you prolly shoulndt have calle3d me there
PauliF: never mind
lil monkey26: yea no ****
lil monkey26: nh by you just mad at myself

Quote looks pretty tame to me, I won't share some of my chat transcripts by way of comparison.

[Taardvark]

We each have different aspects of our lives and in each certain things are acceptable and normal for that particular dimension.

In my work life and home life, I rarely lie or do anything underhanded. I'm normally pretty passive and laid back.

Put me in a competitive situation and its night and day. And its usually completely appropriate.

I think once you think about it in context any existential questions really go out the window.

I need more evidence in order to decide.

Let's say you meet a mild-mannered 376 pound Samoan. Do you:

A) Greet him in a warm and friendly fashion?
B) Secretly wish he would trip and fall?
C) Insist on getting into a fight with him and his hypothetical friend whom you have never actually seen, but you suspect carries a gun?

If you answered "C", I'd suggest you lock your shoes and wallet in a safe.
