I can almost remember the invention of the Wheel.

Can't people in online chess do the exact same thing?
Anyways the ratings are hilarious because I went through one of the users in this thread's game history and most of his wins were by abandonment. You have so much time to move you either get bored or just forget. 
My problem is that the rating in online chess gives people a false idea of their strength.

Cool username. Where's your head at ? Wheresyourheadat?

They should play Blitz.

You and Kasparov have similar views about this subject and similar spelling habits.

He is right though, there are a lot of clowns around with online ratings nearly twice their bullet ratings.

Kasporov is not Kasparov - do not get the great involved in this!

Agreed, but we are discussing whether "clowns" is an appropriate title rather than, say, chessplayers

I think it's clowns, yes.

I tried being a clown once, but I sucked at it.

I could never keep it straight... is it "laughing on the inside, and crying on the outside"?

No it's the other way around, they laugh to hide the tears.

I understand that some players are weaker at blitz, so why don't you play live standard? That would be a better reflection of your real strength. But even then it's so easy to cheat... thats why only blitz/bullet reflects playing levels here.

That sounds like my problem, right there.

Well blitz and bullet reflect playing levels, but playing levels for speed chess are totally different from those for CC. How does one arrive at the conclusion that CC is for clowns from that fact?

Online chess should not be rated

And bughouse should be rated

......

To mean?

Just play unrated games, problem solved. Thank me later.

Yes.

Like mean as in brutal honesty or just plain mean?

Mean. Telling someone they should not be alive is stepping beyond the boundaries, even for internet flaming.
