How far can you go for a win ?

Hi'
Is this a normal behavior because, like some says, it's blitz and in blitz the clock it's the clock.
I have to say some people can get way low to flag somebody. It's pathetic and I feel sorry for this kind of dude.

Does this also count as a bad win? http://nl.lichess.org/Nj1zxbAj/black on move 35 i had 6 minutes and he had 30 minutes. 50 moves later he had 3 minutes and i still had 4

So yes i was flagging him. and yes that was my plan B but It was also a very nice grind till he made a mistake
Oh my God!

White declined a draw when the he didn't have enough material to win! You were unlucky not to get 3 move repetition earlier.
So you agreed to a time control and now are whining about the time control? Is that what this is?

Poor thing. Sounds brutal.
I'm not whining about the time control. I just find this kind of way of playing pathetic and useless. It was clearly a draw so make one and do no try to win on time when we both have more than 30 seconds left. It's a waste of time.
Proof at the end it was a draw.
My point is : some player are ready to do anything to have their win and it's so so so sad.
That's it. No need for your shitty sarcasm
I do not get it.
If you play black and you gain no fun out of it, offer a draw and if declined run down clock.
There is no other outcome to this game unless the white king kindly asks the black pawn to promote.
Of course white could just capture the pawn. But black could just refuse to play on. Looks like two guys playing on for fun not for agony, since both sides could get a draw without trouble anytime.
The problem here is, that your opponent doesn't understand, that he cannot win by flagging you when he's got not enough material to mate. Thinking of that, his behavior was pretty unnecessary and a waste of time for both.
Yeah but as black you still could refuse to play on. Wiht this you at least avoid to sit out opponents time as well by playing usesless stuff.
Oh and you could tell your opponent so in the chat. Which probably would result in an agrement on draw.
