While i do say nh at times its mostly so i dont say anything i would regret, I look at it as similar to some guy punching you in the face and you just reply "nice punch"
I also think the Good Game thing is a bit overused. I often seen someone lose 1st hand of a tourney and it was nearly an automatic response of the table saying gg to him. Seriously 1 hand and ur saying Good Game??
My view of poker etiquette is things like talking mid hand when ur not involved, revealing your cards, acting out of turn, hitting and running, slowrolling etc...... I dont think you have to friendly and give out fake automated compliments to follow poker etiquette.
