No. I just played for an hour and my opponent ended up just moving me back and forth to force a draw. I know its legal, just needed someplace to vent and get opinions about it. Seems like if he wanted to play chess he should have finished the game.

You need to be aware of those things in order to succeed!

Anything you do on the board (as opposed to off the board tactics like trying to throw your opponent with annoying behaviour) that is designed to give you the result you are after is perfectly sporting.
