RUDE & ARROGANT

Wow, your rule book must be way different from mine!

I think the Queens are the only pieces that wouldn't get called bitches.

Chess is actually extremely polite...when compared to other online games. I could relate stories of things said to me in, for example, starcraft2, but likely I would have my account suspended for it.

 I agree.

Fhwee, block the person, and make a list of those you will not play when considering joining tournaments. There are enough decent individuals to get a good game virtually any time. 

I had a couple of ex-cons working for me in the past.  They were great workers.  On the other hand I worked with a few others that weren't so great; sometimes it felt like I had to keep my wits about me or I would end up dead.  Life is full of little challenges.

It depends for me how I treat someone. Its not only contingent upon their direct actions, but their motives, if I can tell. War is hell and can put people in many crazy situations. Some people show no sense of remorse or honor for their adversary's dead. I try to remember that the guy/gal who signed up for the military, might have been needing a place to live, just wanted to serve his /her country, is someone else's child, and didn't necessarily agree with the politics of his/her country, but thye decided to try to honor their commitment and country. Besides, did he/she deserve to get shot just because their government was wrong. All humans have some value, though I find the scale to be aweful drastic from best to worst, I try to see the good or the value of a person. If all you focus on is the bad, you end up isolated, hating and a hypocritical victim of your own ignorance and prejudices.

I tend to remind anyone who talks trash to me from behind their computer, that they wouldn't do that to me in a chess club, coffe house or tournament hall.If so, they would atleast be visiting a dentist soon.

 I think it's a bit extreme to send someone to the dentist for talking trash.  Pouring a beverage over them and telling 'em to "Cool off," just makes more sense to me.  I'm sure the look on their face is priceless though.  You can tell a lot about someone by the way they treat the people they don't have to treat well.  I don't know who first said that.

Like i said...

@SPARTANEMESIS

That would be an option, it just depends on what they might have said. I might even just replied with something I liked. I find it actually reasonable when the person can defend themselves.

@those of you who have no respect for anyone else or yourselves

As a side note for you,

I mentioned in a post, I can see value in anyone. Threads like this, though someone had to be a victim, it has opened my eyes to some that I will avoid. The funny thing is, some of it I learned from some of them gloating about another, acting like an ass to someone and how that is their way of dealing with people in general.

Its a love/hate thing when someone opens their mouth and a bone flies out, but atleast I know what they are really like. Thanks for revealing yourselves. You make it easier on the rest of us. If you really get off on giving people hell,getting away with it and you think you are so good at it, I wanted you to know, you are ametuers, a true deviant wouldn't give himself away so easily. Some of the rest of us aren't as dumb as you look right now.

So go ahead and let me have it....all of you who are disrespectful....take your best shot...I love a good challenge

You could also report rude jerks to the staff of chess.com, I presume they do something esp if someone gets reported multiple times.

To:- MEMBERS,

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to all the members,  who had taken the time and effort to read and responded to my post. I am still waiting for the staff of Chess.com., for their feedback.

Cheers!!!

Did you really want someone to think you are funny?

Fhwee, of course you know the entire chess.com community is not rude and arrogant.  Some of us actually do "give a crap about your problems," (as someone so eloquently put it above). I don't know if the staff has time to micro-manage issues like this one.  They must spend a lot of time dealing with these kinds of people and have developed some skill in that department.

Well, don't hold your breath. Any response will simply state that the mods look at games and posts, and, while certain terms or language may result in one being warned, this site is a business.

Consider some of the previous posts, and go from there.

I support EyesoTruth's right to ramble, in as demented a fashion as he sees fit.

Edit: The staff don't though, account closed.

@fhwee

 the chess.com staff should block the account of that person.

I think they should respond to all requests for help, with a permanent banning. They're should be a filter on chat, that flags any suspicious sessions for our games, so they can permanently ban anyone who willfully tries to gain an advantage over another player by harassing him/her. If it is name calling in a forum, it should be dealt with on a case by case basis. To what was done though, it is a form of cheating and abuse at the same time.

 There is already a filter in chat. However, that does not result in a ban, unless one is extremely rude and obnoxius. Even then, warnings are usually sent first.

Your point about trying to gain an advantage over another through chat is not sufficient. This site has grown so rapidly where one can make demeaning statements, yet not get "flagged" if they have not used certain keywords.

Plus, I've never understood how one can gain any advantage by posting comments in the chat.

If you really believe that people don't try to say distracting things to get in someones head, then you to ask yourself if this is how it happens.

First, two people are playing chess and one of them is thinking about his move. His opponent knows full well that he probably has his chat set to alert status for the sake of what could benefit him from it. So he decides to be a douce and send a rude distracting message, most likely in hopes his opponent is distracted enough, that he doesn't see that crucial move he needs to make.

So, if you disagree about how or why this happens, please tell why someone would, without provocation, or any previous chatting, just out of the blue start a harassing dialogue ,that he knows his opponent might think says good game thanks, wanna play another, etc? Are you trying to say he was just being friendly in his own way? Are you suggesting that he is trying to figure out if, maybe he is the kind of guy who he might joke about southpark with later?...

If you are really serious, then you are lucky and sheltered or you aren't very good at cop out and playing devil's advocate.

I understand from the para that your a decent man. According to my education accepting third rate behaviour similar to this shows weakness on the person's character. You should definitely report it and get his account banned. Afterall, there are millions of others you can choose to play.
