I have played several games where I get a perpetual and people start calling me an idiot and "not a real chess player" or even more aggressive things! What is the animosity toward perpetual check? Why do people start going crazy when you discover perpetual check.
Thank you!

I didn't know that there were people who went crazy about perpetuel check. It is just one of the possibilities that can happen in a chess game. Any "real" chess player knows that.
