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?

Ach! it's not just you. ICC is the best chess server in my view & the
stuff you mention is 'nothing' relative to the 'adults' who play well &
vulgarly disconnect when they sense a loss (theirs). As if they don't
know how to push the resign button. Very unsporting behaviour 'old-boy'
& no! the crud a turkey craps ain't pure gold & you have to wonder who
convinced 'them' - their's is?..
