Blitz cheesing

Everyone and their mother now are cheesing in blitz with some rare openings, trying to get a couple of rating points extra by going into messy positions and just moving blindly like maniacs. 

It is really annoying at this point. Calm down, guys, you are not Hikaru, no need to chase those couple of ranking points extra off a time scramble.  

At least when your antics don't work, be a man, resign. Let's normalize showing NO RESPECT for cheesers who hang on dear life for a zeitnot win when they have been massively overplayed the whole game.

Frankly, this sounds like a you problem. If you can't figure out a way to punish rare, offbeat openings well enough to checkmate in the alloted time constraint, you deserve to lose.

And you sound like another entitled brat. I specifically said under 2000 rating.

Beating rare offbeat openings in time-trouble? Sure. You are really not thinking it through.
