They react like that because they've seen lots of threads on resigning in their time here, but you haven't been here for too long so you weren't to know that.

Perhaps the slightly aggressive attitude encouraged them to be aggressive in their replies.

The point of forums is that you state your opinion and have a discussion with other folk about who thinks what. You didn't deserve the lambasting.

My 2 bob - people can resign when they want. It's up to them.

Haha, somebody apparently doesn't like people that are uncircumsized...

You posted something stupid, and you got flamed for it. Welcome to the internet.

Are you seriously saying you want someone who's willing to admit he's lost to have to be reminded of this fact for the remaining 20, 30, whatever, moves of the game? That's mildly sadistic if you ask me.

Am I to understand you are protesting that people resign their games against you, instead of playing them out?

I wish I had such problems . . . if all my opponents gab auf, I would celebrate with a beer, or several. 


 I have to admit... that this seems the most appropriate way to respond to resignation, not to mention the most tasty  :)

The OP wasn't insulted in any way, except that someone (maybe me) pointed out that he might have more serious chess related problems than those he is putting forward for discussion. Probably most people have experience with trolls and don't take such 'threads' seriously.

I want there to be an electric shock feature on Chest.com so that when I make a bad move I get a jolt.... wait - 'chest.com'?? That's a typo.

Heh, this would be a nice interactive feature.

When the opponent is nasty sometimes I wish you could play a sound bite over their speakers when you win -- maybe something like Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder WW) shouting "YOU LOSE, GOOD DAY SIR"

well, I guess this topic has become null invoid due to the bombarding of crisitism that was centred this way. Who's perfect in this world and how I was to know that a topic could be as sensitive as this. Some people have mention my win lose ration. I admit it is not pretty but if you look at my log I have several victories in under 5 moves. Especially mynmsanthony (1200), me (649) in 4 moves, I think that's quite good for a chess hack like myself who hasn't quite mastered the art of chess yet, maybe I won't mastered it neither but I am going to have fun doing it.

By all means have fun playing chess, and it's okay if you don't master it as most of us will not. It only becomes a problem when you start telling other people how to play, and what they should do, and wanting to penalize them, etc etc. This video game has been played by people for quite a while now (some centuries at least), and has some customs which are probably reasonable.

My original post wasn't meant to attack people in anyway it was only a opinion that obviously some people really objected to. Still in my opinion there is no reason for people to attck me in the way they did.

Looking back, it seems to me that you were the first person to insult anyone in this thread.

paulgeo

how do come to that conclusion ichabod801, I was attack from all angles mainly from people with the stars and stripes beside their names. To me that was insulting at the first. See again you are quick to pounce.

Jeez. It was Rainbow who called the OP an idiot and he's way across the pond from us low-life Americans.

Maybe the OP got off lucky. He said Suggo was "literally a piece of sh*t."

Not much for pussyfooting that Rainbow.

Before your second post, no one attacked you except one who said that you had a low rating and so people shouldn't resign against you. They attacked your point, but that is not the same as attacking you. In your second post, you said everyone else the in the thread was stupid ("lower intellect than their rating"). Then people started attacking you.

i had a game last year where the person resigned out of the blue... only then did i see how i could force a material advantage.... i guess he was expecting it.


 Oh c'mon. The sky is not blue.


No, the air, of which the sky is comprised is not blue, moron.

Yeah, ol' rainbow rising ain't one to beat around the bush.

It's too bad that thread got eviscerated since Suggo's posts are all gone now. It was a classic.

Yours truly,

Yep, it was a great thread.  Second only to "greatest chess photos."
