Table talk or trash talk?

I've seen Tony G play before, as I'm sure most of us have. I've seen him berate and belittle his opponents, and generally abuse them into playing badly.

While using verbal at the table can be a legitimate weapon to add to your arsenal, I think Tony takes it too far. Players in major events aren't allowed to swear at the table without suffering a rail-penalty. Why aren't they allowed to? Because it lowers the tone of the game. So why should Tony be allowed to do this?

The answer is, he shouldn't. Where is the line drawn between table talk and ungentlemanly conduct?
