Eo__ Dude, for a guy who announced he quit chess, you are sure active here.  I reckon an explanation is in order.

I do it and it's not because I am antisocial or don't enjoy chatting with people. I simply hate it when my opponent makes a rude remark or insults me. Most players are not like that, but some are, and for some reason it's almost like they can correctly guess the moment that their remarks will hurt me the most. It's just a game, I know, but when my heart is rushing and I lose a game, I don't like being kicked while I'm down.


I think the word you're looking for is, "Avoidant" when you say you're antisocial you say that you don't care about rules and you're basically an unruly teen

I can't write in the message box because I play live on my iPhones Internet and It doesn't let me write in the box, well I can write it but I don't have that enter button on key bboard on here to be able to send it .If I Disable a chat then it's only cause I don't want someone to say gg while I can't can't say it back. They might think I'm rude and I don't want anyone to have a low opinion of me. But sometimes I use someone elses computer and i can chat people up:)

Ps:Anyone know a place where I can fix my poor little laptop? It's lying around in my room and sometimes I tear up just by the thought of the good ol' times I had with it and knowing I can never play with my little buddy again. :(

That just means you're due.


Due?  As in "owed at present"?  I do not follow you.  Alas, I wish I would have never come here to be perplexed by your illogical statement.

It might be bearable if he followed up at least one with 'oh my god I'm dropping s--t like a pigeon!'

 

Alas, no, we are merely constantly harangued by endorsements of one of the worst book titles I've ever had the misfortune of discovering.
