Bro, 6' is normal height. What are thou on about? How is the weather down there?

This. If it's any warmer there, tell me so I can duck down

I'd bet my hat it's cultural rather than genetic.

Aggressive how?
The way people are aggressive in chess. I don't know how it relates to the dutch in general although I have theories.

You're just going to have to live with your prejudices and move on. There is no option to exclude players by country, nor will one ever be forthcoming.
if enough people complain they might fix it.

If you ask me, you're free to not play whoever you like, but to be fair, even if it's cultural that is still discriminatory.
But if not, I'm taking your hat, just so we're clear.

I'm actually 6 feet tall. I thought about moving to the Netherlands because I could stand up straight when I talked to everyone.

Even if chess.com dared to add something like this (which they won't, a feature like this is inherently discriminatory), I've seen threads on here for years along for simple and much more essential features that were never addressed (pls, give conditional moves on mobile app )

All you can do is comb through everbody's games and block the players that play this.

honestly whenever people ask you to define aggressive chess they just want to disagree with you in some way. I believe that you are genuinely curious but there will be other people who will want to argue with me.
hey @btickler what is going on
