I also sad I would not play blitz anymore, but in the last time I played bullet. I will stop again, I agree with you, these are stupid games.
True, and the worst part is that blitz and bullet give the semblance of chess because the moves are the same. But they eat at your brain like a disease. 
My earlier coach had set me a goal. He said 'Try beating a 1700 on chess.com'. I told him 'I am rated 1600 there'. Referring to my blitz rating. He replied .No. Not possible. Now when I am trying to merely climb the ranks of the rapid pool I am facing extraordinary difficulties. Here is a game I present in which i beat a 1600. Here it is.
So basically the last two days of my life have gone into poring over How to Reassess Your Chess 4th Edition by Jeremy Silman. I have learned about the habits of knights and bishops, the psychological barrier to sacrificing material and sometimes accepting material too. I have learned the interplay of knights and bishops and the value of open files and the habits of rooks. I have played nothing(NOTHING) but 15|10 chess and my eyes are beginning to open up to the fact that what I have been doing thus far hardly deserves the title of chess. It has been a desperate addiction to increasing my blitz rating and playing stupid games as a result of that. Now I think I will never go back to that.
