I totally sympathise. I came here looking for answers on how to deal with/report rudeness in tournaments, as a pair was conversing in Italian (which I partially understand but it was distracting me and it was idiomatic). When I was told to "bid", I explained, that I was translating their comments to the table (so I would know if they wanted something from me) and was called "la solita idiota di bbo" Didn't need to translate that. Call to director - no response. That was my first and only tournament with real people- it was advertised as friendly for beginners (candy apple BBOfest). sigh....I had even greeted them and apologised in advance for any errors, as I was a beginner. Lots of love for the forum though!
