During an online tournament, a player takes the maximum time for each move. As a result, everyone in that tournament has to wait while that player's games grind to a halt.

Is it fascist to want to remove them from the tournament?

Is it communist to allow them to pull everyone else down to their time limit?

Is it simply Christian?/Islamic/Judaistic(?)/to plod along and see what happens?

is it medieval to chop his hands off in front of a large crowd of people who are willing to throw potatoes and cabbage at him?

Only before the fifth move, I believe.

What does this happen to do with being drunk? I'm drunk now, and I would feel those same things sober.

 Please indulge me on the ironic part of this.  I'm obviously not smart enough to understand. (I wouldn't doubt it is right in front of me though)

the irony is the drunk person telling us that they would feel that way sober. Hard to tell if that's true or it is just the drunkenness talking.

What's funny is all the drunk people like me responding to this message not sure about the author's point of complaining, in regards to being a drunken question.  Everyone sober would agree about the things he said.  Nothing controversial.

Hi guys,

Irony; is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity or discordance between what one says or does and what one means or what is generally understood. Irony is a mode of expression that calls attention to the character's knowledge and that of the audience.

I am not drunk, but I am missing the irony also.  But I agree with Popinjay, Chess is a game of patience.  In another topic another guy said, Vacation Time is a priviledge, once you use it up, the priviledge is gone.

Watch your backrank.
