I do resign in bullet games, but usually when I'm absolutely crushed and my opponent has enough time to finish me off. If I think they haven't been managing their clock, then I play on. And, I lose tons of games where my opponents play on in lost positions. It is part of the game.
However, the site would do well to get timestamp, timeseal, or a similar program to help mitigate the effects of lag. I understand that's in the works for version 3.

No, Mickey, that's a myth. Take a look at the ratings. The best bullet players are also the best chess players. On this site, Nakamura and Caruana are the best bullet players. If you were right, the best bullet players would be teenagers who play video games all day.

It's bullet! Who the hell has time to resign? Seriously, 1-minute games are 90% clock and 10% chess at best
Thanks 
Loads of people write rubbish on other members' walls. Just delete it and don't talk to them. It's usually just because you beat them.
Yes I know, it's the internet, but I felt like he had made an interesting point as I didn't agree AT ALL
Hii! I just played like 4 games with some guy and after that he wrote this on my wall: ''He is forced to result to weak time tactics. Otherwise he wasn't a decent player but little respect for his opponents.''
Weak time tactics in 1 minute games? Isn't time like the most important factor there? The game he is mad about is that he couldn't mate me in time being material up. Well, shit happens in 1 minute games I'd say. You don't play them for high quality chess (especially in our 1750-1850 brackets), do you? He also speaks about ''little respect for his opponents'' but after I won the first game I accepted a rematch while I don't need to and when he decides to write that kinda thing on my wall then who needs to have respect for his opponents? I am not trying to call this guy out or anything but I'm just wondering if more people look down upon not resigning in 1 minute games, while I think it's totally acceptable to try your luck in such short games.
