Message To People Who Disable Chat

I once had an opponent disable chat after I told him he really sucked. I guess that's an appropriate use of the disable chat feature.  

VERY  GOOD SPORT....TO BOAST ABOUT IT IS BETTER YET

Yeah Bobba Russki, telling the truth sometimes hurts, so he run away.

Btw. you really need new glasses

I should have the option to disable chat if I want to without being considered rude. I know there is some misuse as sited above, but it seems like every time I try to concentrate there is either someone trying to make small talk, which in itself is not bad, but it distracts me. But the small talk pales in comparison to the angry, rude, and yes lewd remarks made in chat. I often don't see them at first because I am concentrating on the game, but when I finally read them I am shocked and lose my train of thought. Do people in OTB tournaments jabber during a game? I for one am glad this option is available. Don't feel guilty using it.

I hardly even notice people chatting to me I focus on the board and also go to focus mode and you won't even see conversations. 

What someone writes in any sort of chat to a stranger has many connotations. I disable chat permanently because I dont care for you what you have to say. Be it calling me a nigger, a retard, or saying good game.

Live fast games are worse than daily or slow live. The last 'chat' I received in blitz was someone informing me in Georgian that they had f****d my mother. Of course I had just won the game. I translated in case he had said well played etc and I should respond in kind, but no such luck lol.

What does it matter if he disabled chat, or didn't say good game?

LOL........golly....

It's his business.

Just because you say good game, does not obligate the opponent to say it back.

And just because you challenge someone to a game does not obligate the opponent to accept it.

Just accept the rules here on chess.com and learn to live with them without getting so butt hurt.

Now go play some chess, mommy will call you when it's time for dinner.

Years ago, players just shaked hand, rarely adding anything aloud. Then I left chess 7 years long.

When I came back, I faced, what seemed to me, a high number of opponents telling me an embarrassing "good game" by handshake. Why embarrassing? Well, that's maybe just me, but when I start an official chess game, I wish (in secret) my opponent to have an HORRIBLE chess game full of nasty blunders, and that he or she loses in mere agony, and possibly get disqualified for spreading blood over, the referee's white shirt!

Of course, I do exaggerate. but you get the idea. It's embarrasing, because it seems to me it lets me with only the choice between being silent (and rude?) or hypocrite, or possibly shooting myself in the foot, in case my wish for them to have a good game get granted, and I lose for it...

I always chat with my opponents after the game, and ALWAYS wish them a good continuation... Because I need them to get good results AFTER that game we played, in order to improve my Bucholz!!

I think it is more rude to assume that your opponent owes you an enabled chat. Let everyone play however they want, and, as long as they do not violate rules or cheat, everything is a fair play.

they should not be able to stop me from typing! they should be able to not type if they don't want to and not read my text if they don't want to. BUT I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TYPE WHENEVER I WANT TO! I do understand its an international game but free speech is something everyone can get behind. I loose most games when the chat is disabled because this frustrates the F@$! out of me and when u play 3/2 u don't have time to be frustrated

If you want to write, become a writer.

If you want to chat then gossip with the person next door.

If you want to play chess, then.......in any case do you have something fantastically interesting to say? In that case become an after dinner speaker and make loads of money.

But you understand that doing anything to annoy or distract your opponent is against the rules and I am sure that you do not mean to violate the rule. Right?

You do understand that there are people who go beyond "good game" and that "trash talk" is honored in certain circles? 

I get more bothered when someone uses the block option to silence disagreement in a forum post. That is a lot more childish. I understand that similar opportunities exist in the forum for trash talk and thread derailment and that the ability to use block reduces the admin burden for chess.com.  Still, I hate when there is a civil disagreement and the thread owner is able to post "last words" without having to indicate that any blocking has taken place.

Another 3 year old post resurrected from the past. How does that happen?
