If only someone had given you the wit to read before you write.  I did not 
say that they were the same.  I said that they were *all* against the 
rules and *known* to be against the rules.  Knowingly, and deliberately, 
breaking the rules is unethical.  Go read a bl**dy dictionary if you doubt 
my word.  Whether you consider physical assault less (or more) serious 
than cheating I really don't care - I know the game is poorly served by 
either.  The fact that you consider violence an answer to your problem 
demeans both you and your argument.

However, elsewhere it was said that the incident occurred away from the 
playing area.  Were that the case then I wouldn't expect the rules of 
bridge to apply (whether they were cheating at Blackjack or fighting in a 
casino has nothing to do with bridge ).
