That’s also me, watching the other players make the situation far more complicated than it needs to be, but not wanting to be overbearing and ruin their fun.

I come from a society where the government doesn’t imprison people willy nilly.

And I will be avoiding the UAE like the plague, because our values about peoples freedom and rights are polar opposites.

It should be illegal and they should be punished, but the fine is ridiculous and 3 months of jail is disgusting.

In the UK you don’t treat someone like this for a single offense, where someone’s annoyed and has an outburst.

If you and the UAE are on the same page about how to punish people, maybe you should reflect on that.

The fine is obscene as well.

I don’t think “gambled and lost” is a good enough excuse to imprison someone for 3 months over verbal abuse.

I don’t want to defend this asshole, but the punishment is just too much for what he did.

Fuck that guy, but at the same time that’s a ridiculous sentence.

Honestly, you have to be mental to go to one of these countries. I know they want to become tourist hubs, but there’s just so many reasons to avoid.
