OP wanted to know if the rude behaviour of an opponent was normal.

Chess is a board game that encourages unsportsmanship, what do you expect of the community around it? Btw report him.

I don't play here, but I agree with the others. Had I gotten such a post, I'd have dragged it out as long as I could, lol.

That post reminds me of the old saying, "Everything before the word 'but' is bull....".

It’s way more common amongst beginners. You can always turn off your chat if it bothers you.

disable chat....it serves no useful purpose - i.e., it doesn't help you win....

I turned off chat a few years ago, and only enable it for my verified online friends. Don't sweat it, and keep being awesome!

The language is the norm.

The impatience is the norm.

People not having a clue as to what daily chess? is the norm.

Report, block, and move on.

Although I'm not new to chess, it's been years since I played and I just started playing some Daily games (3 day).  I'm playing mostly to learn and to try and improve so I do a lot of my own analysis.  I work full time and there's this thing called "daily life" so I analyze and move when I can.  I haven't run across that kind of adolescent nonsense yet. That clown would have fits if he played me.  Like others have said, block him, move on, have fun, and play the way you want to play.

No! This is not the community norm. This guy represents a small but ugly minority, obnoxious little cowards who like to talk tough when they will never have to back it up. Report them, block them, and carry on. Welcome to the greatest game!

He could have been our community Norm. But sadly no.

Looks like FRIED CHICKEN, and yummy, norms or not.

Definitely better than this Norm.  Candy corn isn't anywhere as healthy as chicken.

For now this dude will have to do. @normweinstein. At least he's got his IM norms.

At least he's at a place where everybody knows his name.

Here is an interview with a man who is both the new Norm and the new Nakamura, Canadian shamisen player Norm Nakamura.
