Yo didn't need to ask
The people must know and be thus reassured.
They did in fact, and for that I am grateful. Have a nice day sir.
Mr Anderson
unfortunately no matter how much u complain kids will do whatever they can to garner attention.
If they jump off this topic it will be another retarded topic like crying about not getting a rematch accepted.
Ur even more childish than the 12 year olds that post on here, and ur multiple decades older than them.
Be quiet
this poem is lovely
how ur an adult never ceases to baffle.
Yes even @JediKosta aka SpartanYoda also closed his account without any reason.

Hey, chess.com Community! It's me, the dude who doesn't fit in. (That doesn't matter, I just thought the truth was funny.) Lately, I've been seeing a lot of, "I'm closing my account," and such, and honestly, yeah, it's kinda sad to see people leave, but life goes on. Besides, nine out of ten times, you've never actually met the person who's leaving, and while it's true that you've developed an actual friendship with them (probably, anyway), you don't really know who they are. But I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm not here to criticize either the closing party or the people who are sad, I'm here to state my mind on the matter, and maybe, just maybe get there to be less drama when someone closes their account.
Why don't we start with the basics? Whenever someone posts a thread saying they're going to close their account, there's a long line of comments saying things like, "NOooooOOoOOoo dOn'T lEavE!" That's fine, you're naturally upset. The problem I have with this is some people reply and say, "There's nothing you can do to stop me. " Okay, buddy. If there's nothing I can do to stop you, then effing close the damn account. Honestly, you really begin to wonder if they even have the balls to close, and then half an hour later they finally make their decision. Like, if you wanna close, post your goodbye, state a reason why, and then close. It's that's simple. You don't have to spark a four-page (about 80ish comments) back and forth because you're not mentally prepared to do it. JUST. EFFING. DO IT!
And then there's the other side of the drama, or rather the drama that makes people close their accounts, like poor @hvenki for example. People couldn't take his sense of humor, so they all just started hating on him, forcing him to close his account out of shame. Sure, he did some stupid stuff, but I wouldn't wish an online 1v585 on my worst enemy.
To end this short little snip-teen rant, I want to say that one, it's okay to want someoen not to close their account, just don't grow overly attached to them, two, don't be a douche, and three, if you're going to close your account, make it snappy but understandable so that people at least have some closure.
Honestly, I think that you should ignore these members. By making an entire forum post about it, only increases the drama.
Here's what I would do:
Tell them you got along before you knew them, and that you can get along without them. (Credit to @denverhigh)
