You resign by gently tipping your king as demonstrated at the time 1:10 in the video below:

I agree about the attitude of the player. I couldn't see the tipping of the king clearly, but for tipping part I agree. The topic of resigning has been discussed so many times on www.chess.com that it may have the most posts. As I understand it if you are resigning that is the correct way to do it. Although I doubt that it would change people from nonresigning to resigning, it certainly woud be in the spirit of proper chess to make a change so that when you resign your king is tipped.
You couldn't see the tipping of the King clearly? Look at the time I told you - it flies off the board and right into the indian girl standing in the background. An instant classic.
i did that to my monitor once by my opponent didn't notice and i just had a broken monitor. :(
(kidding - i wouldn't do that to my 20" Dell baby!)
