As my friend said, some people have no class. That could possibly refer to the person you played. 

On the other hand, what if the other person was equally as upset by these extremely repetitive moves? I really don't see how either side could be happy about this.

IMHO I don't think this end game, if you can even call it that, was worth it. It wasn't worth the stress for you. Some people don't actually have the time to draw out a game like this and they'd happily leave this game, as they probably have other priorities.

I don't think standing your ground, especially in an online game with anonymous players, builds strong character for either of you. 

If you're leaving chess.com, what are the other high quality alternatives online? What are you leaving behind in this chess community? Yes you would be leaving behind unclassy players, but you're also turning your back on very respectable players too that could teach you a thing or two about chess. I think you have to consider these things too. I don't think the root of your anger is from the chess.com staff or the website for that matter. It's just a website. I think that's also partially unfair to put the blame on them. Put the blame on unclassy players, which there will always be a supply of, rule enforcement or not.

Don't let unclassy players ruin your enjoyment for a beautiful art like chess! 

Get back in the game KRESTEZ!!!!!!!!!! 

She's got a really good point, here, sir. And to the staff, I think trolling is good because it allows you to test your mentality against such behavior. Remember. Communication works best if you ask the right questions to the right people to resolve what would otherwise be a ludacris situation.

So, if an opponent's being annoying why not just resign the game and move on? Frankly I find it more important to enjoy my chess than to worry about an irrelevent rating number.

I agree with you sir...I know in my own experience that dwelling is not good. It's better to look at trolling in a different light and play along with it. In some cases, It's can be "reverse psychology" where the troll becomes trolled because he is not getting his desiered effect.

The bottom line is, it's just a matter of how sensitive you are, and where you draw the line until you become butthurt.
