People who leave game because they've lost = No Fun

To sit and have to wait because an opponent knows they're beat is not fun.  Chess.com should have a one minute rule... if you don't move within that time frame they lose.  Instead, I lost for calling him/her a F*&%$ A...hol.  Go figure.

As a teacher... we notice our kids don't have the resilience they used to.  Perhaps it's because we try to incubate everyone from some of the harsher realities of life.  Like being sworn at.  The reality is that swearing, in particular the word F*#%, serves a purpose and there is a documentary on BBC that supports this notion.

At any rate, surely Chess.com could make it a little more enjoyable by timing these individuals out as I, and I am sure many others, have had to sit though many occasions where the opponent merely logs off leaving me/us waiting = no fun

As a teacher, you are a disgrace for using such language. One hopes your pupils' parents do not come aware of your antics. Also, people take time to move in certain situations, and are not placed as opponents for your convenience.Now, go wash your mouth out and serve yourself a large portion of humble pie.

Well, there are many types of schools.

Your first mistake was posting this on chess.com and expecting a serious response.

On the contrary, serious responses to serious posts are not so rare here. Maybe the OP could try it next time.

What he said. Read a book or something while you wait. Play day games. I'll bet you're one of those road rage drivers that has a hissy fit when people slow down for a turn. Or yell at old people in grocery store lines. Patience has a purpose too.

Don't mind waiting for a play... 7, 8 min to watch it time out:( = no fun
