You ran out of time.  Are you saying you would have preferred a loss?

According to the rules, your opponent doesn't earn a win on time if it isn't possible to win on the board.  It is impossible to mate with just a king, so your opponent didn't earn a win when your time ran out.  That's why the draw is due to "insufficient material" - your opponent's material (lone king) was insufficient to checkmate you.

I can't believe that you were so mad you posted this four separate times. 

Didn't you even notice that you had run out of time?

I hope you are sitting down. There's more bad news.

Because you have aborted games too often, you lose rating points when you abort games. (You did it twice this morning.)
