No one owes you a resignation. Some people like playing it out till the end while they are winning.
Only those who give up will resign

You should be happy that you win and not get whimsy.
Not only is this very... boorish hypocrisy, it's also just flat-out incorrect.

Luckyly, Sir, resigning prevents end-game skills, learning or blunders, or stalemate. After 20 sec . The games ✋️ 🫸 stop.

I agree, very poor sportsmanship. But usually I don't mind - a win is a win although I still report them afterwards

In my losses, I resign 50% of the time, while in my wins, my opponent resigns 20% of the time. There are times I want to fight until the end, but seriously, I've had a guy wait 7 minutes for his time to run out hoping I'd resign, draw or something...so I feel you @mavenleo

You can report them for that.
It's called "Stalling".

This happened to me in a 60 minute game. The guy stopped playing with like 55 minutes left so I just resigned to get out of the game. So I won't play long games anymore because of this. The max is a 15/10 game and thats it.
Do you know why I don't resign ? I like playing out positions sometimes it is fun to checkmate instead of someone resigning every game (personally I like to checkmate my opponent myself) tho I hate when people run the clock out

It's called "sportsmanship" and obviously you were not taught any

Who cares
then why bother commenting like a fool?
Resignation has nothing to do with respect. It has everything to do with whether the person who is losing wants to keep playing the game or not. Get over yourselves and play on.

He isn't talking about resigning vs playing on.
He's talking about resigning vs just letting the clock run out without making any moves.
Please read the initial post before replying to it.

Always chance for stalemates or you can flag your oponent i did that many times, Why should i resign? It is not against rules to continue to play seemingly los match my friends.
Please read the OP.
He's complaining about people who stall out, not about people who want to keep playing.

indeed, but what might one see as stallng could be just deep thinking To get out of the mess they are in, Overcoming certain dissadvantageous situations and positions in chess games require monumental level of calculation That simply takes longer to process for human mind. Simple as That my friend. Yes i also acknowledge there are stallers that do that On purpose but So be it, You can report them right? So do so, nothing else that can be done about it, yes i understand your frustration you expressed but Stalling happens even OTB, it has been done to me at one tournament, guy stalled out over 40minutes, I had to sit there and wait out for my win. Well it is what it is.
Here's a pro tip:
When you realize that you've said something silly - in this case, just replying to the "Few people have the decency to resign!" thread title instead of actually reading the opening post and finding out what the thread is about before replying - you really don't have to double-down on your error and create some cumberous pseudo-logical structure to support (just barely) the artificial claim that your answer was already on-topic anyway.
None of that is necessary.
All you need to do is say "Well, I stand corrected on that point." and then change the subject.
Done. No pain. No embarrassment. And no need for squirming around trying to find a position that's only silly-looking, not completely untenable.
I offer this advice in all kindness. I have used this technique when I say something silly. It works.

I don’t know about this one. When I had premium membership, my insights said I only won 20% of games on timeout/ abandonment. The blitz is different, cause 3 minute timeout is very common.
