Is it just me, or are the majority of people who play on ICC unbelievably
rude ? If you beat them, they abuse you verbally. If they beat you, they
gloat and remark on your poor strength. I have encountered dozens and
dozens
of players like this. It doesn't seem to be a problem on the Chessbase
server, or any other chess server I've played on.

Has anyone else noticed this?

I don't find the charge true -- not for the majority -- but I play only
5-minute chess, which doesn't give much time for chit-chat. My view may be
skewed because of that.
