Just ignore those suckers! Trolls like them are the real trash on the internet. chess.com is a great site otherwise.

I have been called an idiot, told to get aids and die and a number of other things while playing a simple game of chess!

In these days there is lot of frustration, socially, economically etc..Hence the people getting frustrated lose temper and politeness is the casuality. Upbringing of the chidren both by parents as well as teachers  will bring some discipline and politeness.

Practice of Yoga and meditation is one way of natural solution to the problems.

Specialy on net.Politeness is art.

so you are as bad as them

you are talking about being polite, but was that polite thelastbite???

There's always going to be a certain amount of cyber bullies even in chess. Most people on Chess.Com are pretty cool. If you want to meet a pathetic bunch of bullies and people who are arrogant, go to MSN Games. 

A lot of people are assholes on the internet because they think they can get away with it.
