I just enjoy playing chess and people insult me and call me names on my profile!

Yep, it's kind of lame, but it happens to all of us. Dont take it personal. I imagine it's worse for you because you're ovbiously a girl. Frown

Welcome to the internet I guess. Just let it bounce off of you. Remember they dont define you! Hope this helps!

Looking at your last few losses, they were all on time. Since you got "mean" comments, I am betting you let the clock run out. Try resigning next time instead.

That doesn't mean anything. Seriously most rage I get from people are when I win on time and when I dont rematch.

Not all of us are mean! Ubik's advice is good, as usual.

They were all bullet games! Of course a lot of losses will be on time!

The occasional bad loser may call you a "runner" when you win a game then don't offer a rematch. And usually post something in the forums about it :). And it's probably worse for you since you're a girl, and some men get pleasure out of messing with girls.

For the most part, people on this site are friendly. But the occasional troll/ridiculous loser is to be ignored (or spat on, like I usually do, if you're feeling really worked up!). Enjoy your chess!

I would if I were you. You'll just have to deal with the junk otherwise.

Not you specifically Tongue Out. A lot of people ask me my age and for facebook info in games which I don't like.

1. You're a girl

2. You're playing bullet

Either one of those gets you hate/lecher messages. Combining them is lethal.
