please stop whining like crybabies

I am relatively new to this site, and a mediocre chess player at best. The point is, I come here with frequency to relax and have some downtime. - (if you call trying to memorize variations of the sicillian downtime!) It's a great site, but there are too many whiners ragging on the mods about cheating.
Give us a break, If you can't beat somebody, don't blame it on cheating. That's the kind of excuse women use to keep the competition away!
Anyway, I'm being a little satirical, but I refuse to play anyone that runs roughshod on the board badmouthing other players. I would be pretty offended if someone accused me of cheating with no way to defend myself. Except, I use a made up screen name, and nobody knows who i am. Besides, I bet if I tried to cheat it wouldn't help me anyway.
So lighten up francis! There are bigger things to worry about besides a mathematical puzzle that has been mostly solved by computers 20 years ago.
In 1591 games I've only had problems with two players. One accused me of cheating and one was unsportsmanlike during the game (repeatedly offering draws when lost, running the clock down, etc.)
Maybe you have just been unlucky and had more bad experiences than normal, or I have been lucky and gotten friendly opponents.
2/1591 seems pretty low to me, or 1/1591 if only cheating accusations are counted.
So far, (on Lichess) no-one ever called me a cheater after losing to me...
I sometimes (rarely) play as anonymous. The name-calling and accusations are much worse there.
Anonymous players sicken me. I often play as anon since i can't be bothered type in my password while out and about. I have calculated about 9 out of 10 anon players are cunts. I used to think that most of the crazier ones were from usa and although, probabilistically that may be true, i think having the mere luxury being a dick without having a handle attached is just too tempting to pass up. On the brightside though, playing only members yields some great games and good freindships. :)
I have encountered both members and Anon. doing that to me. I just mute and keep playing.
