For the second time in a week I have been 'abused' by - coincidently -
'new' members who seem to think that if you don't move within
seconds they have the right to complain about 'slow' moves.

Maybe we could have a message on the home page explaining that
this site is for Chess players and not five minute wonders ?

Some of us may be poor at the game but I do not need / want abuse
from some moron who gives me a hard time because I haven't moved
within seconds.

My experience has been that when they get behind in the game, they
quickly lose interest and because they set their "agenda" of a quick
game I play by their rules. Time-out. I may say something
like "what's your hurry?" or "I will complete the game, but it may go
longer than you expect." I probably should say something like, "Hey,
baby, let's have a relationship. No wham-bam-thankyou-mam." That
with my profile pic should scare them away. Kirk

I know how you feel. I don't seem to move fast enough for some. I
try to ignore the comments, but it still bugs me! :o)

Maybe so you don't have to read all of the message they are replying
to. 😉
