Clearly every one hates arrogant, clueless, name calling idiots, what ever their hobby or profession. I am referring to what used to be and is now somewhat less, the train of thought verbalized by some pro's that internet players can't play - clearly many can play.

Anyone who follows poker has heard this. My point is that any profession has a range of skill levels, much is sour grapes as someone in this thread indicated.

It perhaps is natural for any profession that had a particular slow progression of accomplishment at one stage, then when the progression is suddenly quicker and the money is astronomically higher that alone engenders some bad feelings - that's one thing but claiming these new people have no skill is another. Let me give another example, in the NFL "old days" to be QB of an NFL team took years, good college players were expected to languish on the bench until the "old guy" petered out. Fast forward to the future - a guy comes out of college, is expected to start quickly and with signing bonuses more than career salary than the likes of Bart Starr. The debate goes on but no one buys the "new guys" are all no good - many are very good, very quickly.
