But what would be the REAL reason why various RHP posters, past and present, would resign?

Someone has alerted this OP.

Now why would they waste one of their precious limited, watered down, emasculated, neutered, alerts on that… 😅

I didn't go to Oxford, but I'm all for "pleb-bating". I must withdraw. The UK needs me. Thank you The Gravedigger for touching me in my most private place: my sense of patriotic duty."

"Apparently, I am thought to have died last year. I've been looking at my posting history since then, and I might as well have died, it's clear. I am quitting RHP and will now lie upon a slab in divegeester's crypt/laboratory hooked up to his Disinhibition Machine."

Well you may learn more from the book that you do on the chess board, perhaps fmf and Divegeester should join you in making a book club! 🙂

Actually you're better than the pair of them at chess, the twins don't do well at chess. A book club they would thrive in! 🙂

"It may have been ignored. But I can no longer tolerate this lack of recognition and tolerance. I feel no love. I shall resign with immediate effect and spend more time abusing my family rather than abusing anonymous people on the interwebz."

I wonder how they feel about wasting an alert.

I've never resigned a game to be with my family in fact I have prolonged games to avoid them
