with my rating i gladly take wins by timeout, maybe you should lose double the rating points if you lose by time out

I cannot believe this is even an argument. Dragging out a lost game by deliberately waiting as long as possible to move is not only wrong, it's childish and stupid. What these people need is a swift kick in the balls. Who are these low lifes claiming it's ok since nobody is "breaking any rules"? Never play chess with these people. Or Monopoly for that matter. When they land on your hotels, instead of paying you they suddenly get up and go for a walk.
Awesome - Just like in real life!!

There's no such thing as "stalling'. Nobody can "stall" in this website because all are bound to make a move within a specified period of time. Nobody in this website is compelled to resign a game.
Take an opponent who has only a King but keeps on playing while the player has a Queen, a Bishop and a Knight. And the opponent takes the full 3 days to make a move in a game where the time limit is one move every 3 days.
That opponent IS NOT A SORE LOSER nor is he STALLING. If that opponent likes to play that kind of game he has all the right and privilege to do what he likes to do.
Nobody in this website has any right nor any reason whatsoevert to complain and call that opponent a SORE LOSER (not lOoser) nor of STALLING or call to deprive that opponent of his right and privilege to continue to play a losing game and to make a move within the time period agreed upon.
Chess is the game of Kings. It is a game where the rules follow the spirit of chivalry that existed when Knights roamed the surface of this earth.
A Knight in deadly combat with another knight would salute an opponent who continues to fight on even though mortally wounded. That brings us to this game of Kings where an opponent refuses to resign and continues to fight on a dead lost game.
For what its worth, in most OTB tournaments, it actually is against the rules to drag on an obviously lost game for no reason.

Get on the right page matalino ! I am talking about live chess where u are 1 or 2 moves away from check mate with 10 mins or so remaining on the clock and your plum of an opponent waits for the clock to run out.,.,,.
For the benefit of us non english speakers, what does "plum" mean in this context?

Matalino: You're just wrong. In most of these scenarios, the player _is_ stalling. You're just pointing out the (obvious) fact that what they're doing is not against the rules. Fine. That doesn't make it not stalling. And yes, they're probably a sore looser. Maybe not, but that's what probably means.
You just can't say that an opponent who moves three or four times a day, all of a sudden when they hang a queen, and it's in the endgame, when their opponent is going to queen a pawn, now they start taking a full 3 days to make their move, you just can't say that they're not stalling. That's exactly what they're doing. But - stalling is not against the rules.

A fat social outcast and/or idiot.
Im sorry...no wait im not...if you cant accept losing then dont F'in PLAY!!! Im not here to play a bunch of sore losers, freakin crybabies in a game of chess...its like going somewhere just to lose no matter what happens you will lose because everyone takes up for an idiot that has no skill has to go off in a corner, ball up, cry for his mommy, and say "I want to go home cause this guy is winning." Seriously you people are going to sit here and say that this is ok...even when the rules are placed by yourself? I only set it to untimed cause i want longer than a hour and half to play the game!!! You aint thinking about no dam move especially when it's clearly a complete loss, grow up and accept your loss!!!
Very true they are true plums.,.
