I'm at present playing Joe von Pyehoo with 14 day moves, 14 day time out.. he takes the full 14 days to make any move...in all his games. I think he relies on people getting bored with the game and resigning.....I wont....
In fact you agree to a time frame. As long as your opponent keeps the agreed conditions all is well.
If you want faster games, just offer those, and do agree only to games with the appropriate timings.

Originally posted by @waratahit's up to you to never enter games with such a long time to move. My top choice is 2 days a move, but there are very few tourneys available. Most are either one day per move or three days per move. If a person can't answer in three days, he/she shouldn't be playing online chess..

Originally posted by @ponderableDon't get me started on those users who select one day time controls then complain their opponent moves too fast.

I can recommend some good cheese to compliment the spirit of the OP:
Gouda
Ricotta
Camembert
Young Cheddar
Tomme d'Alsace
And if you're really stuck, there's always Brie.
Although if you want nightmares, I recommend port Stilton. Not normsl Stilton, that's innocent enough. It must be the port-infused kind.
But, and this is critical on this forum: always after moving, never before!
