This may not be the right thing to do, but when I am faced with that, I drag the game out as long as I can =) waiting until the last 2 hours to move, and making alot of moves. I dont resign a game unless I am beaten. There are times I play on even down a peice or two, because I want to practice tactics, ect. If I am down and unable to win, I resign as that is the sportsmanlike thing to do. However, if they are being rude, I take my time and ignore the chat, and just take forever to play =)
abusive opponents
Sort:
basically what I did. after I called him a horses ass, i explained i'm allowed 3 days per move, and I'll see ya in 3 days. and the thing is, I probably would have resigned if he hadn't started that bullshit. I resign way more games than I get checkmated, esp in team matches and tourns. I'll play on when it's desperate, I'll resign when it's hopeless. and i've been on the other end of that coin also, and I have never, and will not ever, demand that an opponent resign.
also, if u shut down your chat instead of ignoring it, they become infuriated! who knows, they may blunder the game back to you.

I chose option 2 and 3 with this guy, and basically told him he was the last part of the horse to cross the finish line. Any feedback, comments, etc? this is a very sore point with me.
it's indicative of the general decline and fall of civilization.
very, very small percentage of players, it's only happened to me about 3 times. but it is infuriating.
