    I wasn’t there but from I gather (from the podcast) Chris (Kaneda) was drinking and cheering for penny (Lyman’s gf) and was probably getting a bit out of control perhaps being confrontational on purpose since tournaments aren’t his thing. This is my guess but I think he wanted to just cheer on a friend but either wasn’t familiar with the tournament etiquette or just didn’t care enough to respect it. Tim Sexton tried to remind him of the proper etiquette (probably in a condescending way) and that set Chris off when he was given a red card and asked to leave etc. Again this is just what I gather from the hearing the podcast and knowing that Chris is a bit cocky and Tim was probably fed up with him even prior to kanedas arrival. Again I wasn’t there this is all speculation but probably could have been handled better by both parties.

    Quoted from miriam:

    My point being: it's not a "he was maybe a bit drunk and cheering, so what?" thing -- it was a "he was being so distracting that it was preventing people from playing" one.

    Kinda what I figured but since I wasn’t there I didn’t want to assume. I feel for Brenda. She was probably mortified by his behavior. Shit happens but when you’re drunk and act a fool nobody wins. Rather than ranting on his podcast he should have apologized to everyone there, especially Tim, instead of making a spectacle of the ordeal. If kaneda wants to be taken seriously he should have behaved accordingly.

    Quoted from shacklersrevenge:

    So poor little rich boy threw a beer in Tims face. What a silver spoon fed brat. Hope his parents take away his allowance.

    Total bitch move. He must think he’s a real housewife of New Jersey. If you’re already perceived as a cancer in the hobby, this certainly isn’t the way to show you actually care and respect it.
