Why would you go out of your way to antagonise people for no reason?

If that's what you do "for fun" then I feel sorry for you.

I feel sorry for YOU. What kinda person says something like that?

Because I think deliberately antagonising people, for no reason, is pathetic behaviour.

It's actually kinda fun, ecspecially if you do it to an enemy of yours. But, of course, what would you know about fun?

Well clearly I know a lot more than you do about it, given what passes for "fun" in your world.

Another reason why OTB is so much better. You don't have this immaturity to deal with.

For me OTB is kinda tough cuz IRL I'm an extreme introvert and if there are other kids (Usually in the 1200-1500 rating range while I'm in the 1800-1900 range lol) and sometimes they wanna play a game or two with me and I'm not the type to say no even tho I don't want to ;-;

Only because in real world chess the organizers and arbiters actually enforce the laws of chess, including player conduct.

It could be done on chess.com too, but not if you only have a couple of unpayed moderators for millions of players.

At OTB tourney's, I have seen master-level players (2200+) throw hands, insults and sucker-punches over lost games, the fact that they were adults made their man-baby behavior even more precious. Chess players are famous for not wanting to have their a**es stomped, when they clearly have earned it; this provides a degree of restraint at OTB events.

If the OP wants to rage-bait his opponents, he should simply be himself.

Ragebaiting your opponent seems kinda immature to me. Just play to the best of your abilities and learn from your mistakes. If you have to resort to meta-tactics like making your opponent mad, then you're probably not good at the game.

The moral of the story is: Always wear a protective cup when playing in OTB tournaments happy.png

Somethings please one and not another. So, "fun" in your terms, is really boring. What passes for 'fun' for you? Taking a dip in the toilet?
