Seemingly this thread is going off-track again.
Certain big ego individuals are trying to make bad attitude be acceptable by illogical or fals arguments as present day's lawyers do.
I call a spade spade. Psyching in ad hock partnershyps is arrogant, stupid and as a minimum bad manner. Usually morons do it.
Characteristic to the psychers and their defenders how they turn simple statements, like "I will leave the table of a psycher" into a deplorable act. Presuming it happens during play, which is against the rules of the site. That is a good indicator that basically psychers have bad intentions.
In a game that is overregulated with alerts and self alerts, tempo regulations, etc. intentionally breaking the expected behaviour with mean intentions is unacceptable. I repeat, mentally sick people do it.
There is a big difference between bluffing in poker or in any other card game where it is natural, and the so called psych in bridge. There is a big difference to trick a friendly company around a card table with loughter, or do it with complete strangers in order to upset them. There is a big difference of using psych as a legitimate tool in the game, and having destrucktive intentions.
If psychers were having any integrity would mark in their profile that thay may psych. People with good intention will do that. In this case nobody could complain. But in this case the attacker could loose the surprise effect, so players with maligne attitude will not mark themselves. We have to mark them. I certainly will.

Perhaps those who don't psyche could mark that on their profile ;-)
A psyche is a legitimate part of the game and you should expect your opponents to psyche occasionally.
If they happen to get a good result a simple well done would seem to be appropriate. Then get on and play the next board.
You should not expect psychers to escape from their trouble through a concealed partnership understanding.
By all means mark someone or report someone who appears to have a concealed partnership understanding but not merely because they psyched.
