Yeah, I don't get involved with chatting. The only thing I'll occasionaly type is "thx" if someone says "nh", and I usually don't even do that most of the time.

It's easy to get riled up chatting with some fool... I think it's better to just ignore all of that.

I decided stop chatting all together on one particular session - there were some players chatting and I wasn't responding at all, so then they started hypothesizing that I was a robot/computer program playing my cards, not a real person, or that I was playing 3 tables at once (which I was), and that I was too busy and serious to chat... which then made them scared of me, giving me a stronger table image, and ended up helping me take down some uncontested pots!
