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

Fine..

I'll change it

I want that job...

"It's time for your annual review, Bob.  Let's go over your annual objectives...you made 392 people lose, and 18 people win."

"Yes, sir.  It was some careful picking and choosing what got the job done for me."

"I see.  What value do you objectively feel this adds to chess.com's bottom line in order to justify your $55,000 salary?"

"Well, ummm..."

"That's what I thought; here's your severence check..."

"Okay then, thanks for the $55,000, I guess."

"Honey!  I'm home...bad news; they finally came to their senses..."

"Well, crap.  Still, it was a good year."

people say CC is the same as blitz/bullet ( total bullsh*t)

 

a 2000 blitz rating is 10x more impressive & respectable than a 2000 CC rating

So what exactly is the problem ? You have posted a few messages under various names. Are you annoyed with chess.com or someone in particular ?

I think CC is essentially the same as several hour long chess games, but for those who aren't able to sit at a computer for several hours...

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

You think they should be the same? That a 2 minute game where you just throw pieces around and watch the clock in ANY way relates to a game where you take your time and actually THINK about each move? They are completely different games. So of course the numbers aren't the same. It would be weird if they were.

Bullet and chess are two completely different games. You might as well say that only Poker ratings should count.

in live chess you end up playing puppets. who fake a low rating. even grandmasters that work for chess.com. and simply pic and choose whether you win or not

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.  

I'm certain if you took an 1800 blitz/bullet player and an 1800 CC player, and both only really ever played their respective type of chess, and put them on tournament time controls, the CC player would win.

CC is much more like traditional chess than blitz and bullet are.
