I'm starting to think the resign button should just disappear...

Then even more players would just abandon games once they start losing. There's nothing wrong with resigning. It's abandoning games WITHOUT resigning (and forcing your opponent to sit staring at the board for several minutes) that is disrespectful and should be discouraged.

A person  forced me to mate him with 2 bishops. We played until the very end, wasting lots of both of our time, and extending the game to 90 moves! why do some players never resign, do they not have the resign button? https://www.chess.com/game/live/5993866380

 

I agree, he should have resigned. 

But it's very impressive, you know how to mate with two bishops! 

I've tried, but I never seem to be able to get the right technique.

Not really, I almost got the fifty move rule. Bishop and horsie is impressive tho.

"Never Resign" or "Never Lose Hope" as said by IM Eric Rosen where he played an odd game by only having his rooks and pawns vs. the entire army when he sacrificed a rook and then used the other rook to force draw.

it is your opponent  choice  to resign or not  

you have no power over the thing  

 

and about the stuff "respecting your opponent"

 

this is a GAME / WAR

here nothing comes in between
