Good manners never hurt anyone. And if I can't stick around for a chat or a rematch I always send a polite message that I have to go.


I completely agree. All it takes is a courteous hello and good game. Its just good sportsmanship. Beyond that, all chat is optional.


Both of you are very needy and will probably never get a partner...

I agree that a simple hello or good game is'nt to much to ask, but one time I started a game with somebody and I said "hey hows it going?", he replied with "what?"  I then said "How are you doing?", and then to my astonishment he replied "its just a game" (What the he!! is he talking about) Have you been staring at a computer screen so long that you cant tell when someone is asking how your day is going? Anyways since then I only chat if they initiate conversation.

Have YOU been staring at a computer screen so long not to realize some stranger 50000000000 miles away doesn't care or have little interest in you other than chess? Wake up dude, I/we are not your mom with a cup of coffee before school...

There are certainly psychos here, but don't let that stop you from doing the right thing.  To chat or not to chat, this is not an issue of right and wrong.  It's fine to do so, and it's fine not to do so.  But when somebody initiates polite conversation, ignoring it just makes you a loser.

I'm just gonna ignore this selfish statement.

If only you had done so.  But you didn't, did you?  I guess for you being a jerk is just your little way of showing everyone how cool you are?  I guess if that is all you have going for you, then yeah man, strut your stuff.

OK! So polite conversation made way for this little hissy fit!!!

lol. Your bp is somewhat of a concern for me! Keep it calm freaky dude!

I'm calm as a cucumber my good man.  Polite conversation is a good idea.  You might want to try it some time.

On the point of bp and general cardiac health, were you one of the fraudsters helping to push Merck's Vioxx through the channels?

Vance917

Let's see ... um, no.  Were you?

And you had nothing to do with the Baycol Fiasco.

Who's paying your salary then? The Salvation Army?

Which drug is it that messed up your mind, Double 0?  I can only imagine which deficiencies these zeros refer to.

My guess is that 0-0 means "castles King-side."

And to explain something so simple, to someone who evaluates the drugs and studies of drugs we eventually use. SCARY!!!

I always send messages when playing long online games but always disable the chat on blitz games, after having received nothing but abuse on those.

I don't always get replies to messages, and it does seem to be something to do with our relative ratings, but most people are polite.
