gg is arrogance

I'll claim it as my own skill for subtle hidden ploys! :-)

Ah yes, from one stupid forum topic to another...

You dasn't mock the God of Luck!

I'm afraid we're just a step away from Chess Vs Poker.

That was a far reaching precedent setting case if I'm not mistaken.

It was a government setup.  Wasn't the judge Webster Thayer?

Man, why do you have to go and make me look stuff up...?

Wow, you guys are still alive, just not in the cheating forum no longer, i suppose.

JT, long time no see.  The quality of discussion in the cheating forum deteriorated rapidly after the purge and subsequent lull.  I gave up on it.

I had to give it up for sentimental reasons.  I miss these guys so much, I want to cry:

'chita

'geek

fezzik.

Their expulsions make me as sad as the murders of Sacco and Vanzetti.

Well yeah, I've noticed that, it ain't what it was before but I had to get back in because the forum is bullied by a group of guys spreading falso info for true and saying amen when kohai speaks. 

Yeah, I miss them to, Bigpoison.

Here is an instructive "chat" during a live blitz game on here:

Wow! There's so much barely concealed rage and disdain there I can hardly bring myself to read the whole transcript. It's too emotionally draining.

I never do, of course I never win either! 

Mike Musmanno and I will dissent till the cows come home.

I agree with KillaNinja's initial comment, sometimes it is arrogant to say "gg." If you're going to say it post mortem, you should al least say "hi" before starting a game; it's proper etiquette and even common courtesy to say such to someone before engaging in chess.

Isn't saying nothing worse than saying GG?

Sometimes that's true. :/

Not if you won.  Give the loser a chance to start any post game communication.  OTB I will always give the loser the chance to initiate the handshake.  In CC chess, the proper thing for the winner to say is "Thanks for the game".  It has a better chance of being appreciated, if you send it the next day after the resignation.
