That is a severely toned down version of:

Screw off? I've been civil this whole time. I even apologized for my error. Why are you such a bitter SOB? If it wasn't so funny, t'd be sad.

Sad because you have a sorry little rating?

"I play 1/0 games and if you are 2 minutes late I will timeout. Also I don't want to play black people because they are just stupid and can't play chess everyone knows that."
Originally posted by XanthosNZPretty mean Xanthos, I would never say anything like that about black people and chess. It's not true anyway, since there's been so many great black grand masters.

When the big boys refer to T/Os, they're referring to tournament/clan games. Seeing as your military pension has been cut back, and u can't afford to subscribe, you're not playing either of those types of games here. You are on this site to play chess, not to manipulate the rules to get a high rating, so u can take the mickey out of people, who play the game as it should be played, with lower ratings. To time your moves in open challenges to try to catch your opponent out is just plain sad. 'Sad' is a word that seems to be associated with u alot. 'Pathetic' is another. Just one more would be 'racist'.
BTW: You haven't told everyone on the site, you've told the tiny percentage of people who read the thread where you were giving advice on how to cheat on here. If you wanted to tell everyone, you'd put something like your post into your profile.

It seems a bit odd that people accept games with such a short timeout /timebank such as 1/0 unless they know for sure they will be able to move in the specified time. Surely they know about the 'delete game' button.....
Some people send reminders, some don't. I fully expect to be timed out if I don't make a move within the agreed time. If I'm not timed out it's a bonus, if I am, I put it down to experience and either choose not to play that person again or choose a longer timebank next time.

It's cheap to time out some one if you haven't sent them a reminder and give them a chance to get it. But if you play some and they make a move every once in a while and you have a chance to time them out then I don't see anything wrong with it but thats only my opinion it may mean something and it may mean dick to others but w/e.

I agree but I will only send ONE reminder per game... And I don't feel bad about timing out someone...
