Foul in Chess

So this guy labeled my opening move as "f*aggot" and 10 days later my ranking improved from 932 to 1382. At the time his score was 875 and presently he's at 1238. I don't have a game in mind when I play chess, I play by intuition. In my head the more I play, the more I will get better at reacting to all kinds of predicaments and attacks. And in turn come up with a plan of attack on the fly. I wrote this piece to tell those who gets too aggressive in the game and leave offensive remarks in people's inboxes.  Never  judge a person base on his 'opening moves'. It's just a game. Don't take it too far. People play here for fun, and to improve their games. If you think you're too good for the game, then start your own website.I for one fell in love with Chess beginning of this year when everyone is on lockdown and not much to do outside work. I tried chess and was flustered how so many people can play so fast in under 1 minute. I know nothing about the rules of chess and I learned the basic moves through Google search. I could care less about the Opening moves, the build up, and the end game. I had enough to worry about being attack from every angles, let alone think about how the game is going to end. Then, I realized people here are so darn aggressive at times and will get so pissed off if the game didn't go their way. Or if they lost because of a stupid guy who takes their Queen right away after 2 moves. Occasionally, I will get a message in my box telling me how stupid my opening is. In my head, I don't like being predictable or conform to how everyone else open their game. That to me is boring. People here take the game of chess too darn seriously, and rightly so if you want to make a career out of it, but some just get too competitive like it's the mantle of their legacy. As if they have to prove how smart they are by ranking higher than the average population.  I for one, fell in love with Chess to exercise my cognitive processing skills. I feel like it's a good mental exercise and you get a kick every time you check mate someone. 
Anyways, I wrote this piece to remind those who takes the game of chess far too seriously and leave derogatory remarks when the games don't go their way. To think that it took away only 1 minute of their time, and they immediately felt so aggravated when all they had to do is play another person to recover their loss.
