Resigning a lost game is a gentlemanly way to end the game with honor, but i do not tell others to resign unless the are intentionally leaving the clock running in a lost game (when its obvious they are making you wait) Its aggravating to see such manners in a blitz or rapid game.
I do not think it is cowardly to resign.
But nor do i think it is dishonorable to keep playing.
I only find it dishonorable if you wait for the clock to run out in a losing position.

If you play OTB tournaments, then youll understand this. There is a reason you dont see people acting in OTB play, like they do online. Annonymity does things to people.
These two comments, sum up my feelings.
Resigning lost positions immediately is BEST for your improvement.
*YOU ARE IN A LOSING POSITION*
[Options]
Play On! Resign!
Your only practice for the Analyze the game and where you went wrong
rest of the game is defending a Learn what you should have done, what to improve
lost position. Even if you DO get Solidify the mistake and your loss into your mental DB
lucky (your opponent will HAVE On to the next game getting more practice in.
to blunder) this positive result will
only dampen the magnitude
of your game-losing mistake,
distort your learning, and increase
the likelihood that you will
repeat the exact same mistake
in comparison to the likelihood of
repeating that mistake if you were
to have resigned immediately and associated
the proper memory of pain to your mistake.
Those that argue for "never resigning" clearly have forgotten that humans don't live forever and they must not know much about reinforcement learning.
what everyone's opinion on this ?
