0 and 0 I was thinking about blocking a sandbagger in a rapid arena, he was rated 400 but played like a 800 (I am rated 600 ish)

Ecactly! Tattle tale, go to jail, stick your head in a garbage pail
I like social deviants and emotional cripples because I identify with them a hell of a lot more than I do with those that think that they are normal and got it figured out
Come to think of it, I can't think of a single cool or admirable person that didn't have some sort of demons or emotional issue, or struggle in life somehow at some point in the road. I can't think of a single cool or respectable person that didnt deviate from the norm in some way in order to stand out from the rest.
I reported a few people for stalling and not resigning. I don't ban them but I do ban lower level players I face not because they did anything wrong but I want to play against someone who is going to boost my rating not tank it. Then when you abort too many, chess.com forces you to play someone lower rated and I block them afterwards so they don't pair us again.
But there’s SOOOOOooooo many people out there. You probably wouldn’t even have to since you’d never meet again.

Accept when chess.com doesn't have anyone else to immediately play against you so they use the same match up again. The only time I didn't mind they did that was when someone decided to be a troll and post
when I lost to a blunder. I beat him that game and returned the favor
Wait they do that? There’s at times actually not enough people so they match you up with same person?
NikkiLikeChikki.....the key question was what two chess openings cause you to block people?? I remember being matched against you once (the best-looking of any potential opponent of mine, for that matter), and yet you aborted the game, presumably because of the opening I chose at the time, based on what I read earlier.
You can’t abort a game once it has begun. I just resign and block. The two openings are the London and the Scandi. I have made my views on the London clear elsewhere. Every time I see it, which is often, I roll my eyes and just quit. The Scandi is just boring. I play to be entertained, and if I know a game will bore me, I will just gift my opponent a victory and move on. I’m not trying to improve or win, I just want to have fun.
I'm rather philosophical about it. If I worked really hard and played all of my games and spent hours and hours studying, I might make it to 2000. Then what? What have I really accomplished? A 2000 rating is respectable, but it's not great. It won't get you invited to parties.
So in the end I choose to play games that are fun. I've even been known to resign in the middle of a game that's closed and I foresee 70 moves of shuffling. It's just not worth it.
