As a gentleman, I try to respect the wishes of my opponents if it costs me nothing. You hate resignation, so if I can remember your username (most unlikely) and I ever play you and find myself in a lost game, how do you feel about me just closing the browser window on you? "Uh-oh, I just blew another won blitz game, time to do the dishes while I regain my composure."
I'm pretty sure everyone has figured out I'm not an English teacher. I do want to say thanks to those of you that felt compelled to correct me.

I always thought it was good manners to resign in a lost position instead of wasting time. If this isn't correct, I'd like to know.
People focus too much on manners, especially when talking about online chess. Chess has clear rules. Beyond that is just opinions so just play by the rules and ignore what people try to thrust upon you as etiquette or good manners. People shouldn't start a game of chess if they aren't willing to play to the end to win.

I feel like if you do that your to scared of me
Resignation honors and respects the game and the time of the players. It’s actually seriously cool if you can see a loss far into the distance and resign at the perfect time. Not too different from calling mate in # moves, the further out the cooler the victory. Failure happens, resign and begin again more quickly. Until your game is strong, quantity of games played is critical.

The game was designed to include checkmate. Resigning doesn't honour that! (I resign all the time, just making the argument!!)
hahaha rager spotted !
for the losing party, there is no shame is resigning
for the winning one, there is no gratification to perform a mate when you're more than a piece up
if delivering the mate is more important for you than the critical sharp plays that leads to your winning position, I think you're missing the point of the game
when you're in a winning game, it's not even fun to play the winning part... you do not learn, you just stabilizing and avoiding blunders
playing 30 min and blundering at 20, do you prefer spending more than 20 min trying to avoid a defeat than you won't be able to avoid even with less than best play from the other part ? or trying to get your revenge ? or analysing what you did wrong ? If you chose the first answer, I'm afraid your progress will be way slower than it can be
Resigning lost positions is common courtesy. Nobody win anything by going on playing lost positions
It's jsut ego speaking. If he resigned, you had been better than it ! That is enough !
And about quitting a match, you're on the Internet... You do not know who you're playing... Perhaps the guy has something to do... Perhaps it already really late by him... Noone owes anything to anybody
So the alternative is what? That the opponent keeps playing you (ignoring that he may have to go somewhere, or have something to do or doesnt have the time or the desire to play another game of chess) till you finally get a win over him and soothe you bruised ego.
Laughable post.

If I beat someone. They will sometimes ask for a rematch. Sometimes they can be quite insistent, asking more than once. They only really want to play again, to prove to themselves, that their loss, was a mere aberration. And when they win, they are gone.

I can play a game and loose. I'm not happy about it,but sometimes it happens. More often than not. I also hate it when I get close to a win and loose,and the winner just disappears. If we have a close match then(to me ) a rematch is a must. But it seams that getting a w is all that matters around here,and if you are close to loosing then being a gutless quiter is the way to go! Is this the norm on the board that because you're about to loose a game you're suppose to quit and loose your honor? I'm sorry if I'm offending the quitters,but to me it's more honorable to except your defeat and ask for a rematch than to just quit like a yellow belly that has no self honor!
If everybody accept a rematch request, everybody will play only with the same people, over and over again, until the end of the world. Everybody is free to decide to go on playing with the same guy or not. Probably you should accept this.

I hate it when people try and force their opponent to give a rematch.
not fun to win against the same person twice
i have fun when i play with a random person and random tactic so whatever i win or lose i rather not to play rematch
The words you're looking for are:
"lose", not "loose.
"accept", not "except"
"yellow belly" I haven't heard that word since i last watched a Western.
also quitter instead of quiter in this context
