And I'll throw in a Shuddupa-ya-face for his shameless display of sexism

I do think Microcephalec deserves the Prize of the worst sexist chessplayer : he who has a lower rating than mine dared to say "women do not have the perspicacity to play chess well"... 
Two solutions :
- he is not a man, or
- he is a man with even less perspicacity than a woman !

My, how this thread has deteriorated since I last set foot upon it!
@jnable: look up "internet troll" on Wikipedia (and avoid Google if your life seems worth living!!) In short, 'troll' derives from the English to trawl, meaning in this case the habit of sending out annoying or negative posts in the hopes that somebody will respond, and then engaging in endless responses that seem to require denial or rebuttal, but only serve to strenghthen the troll's ego by the mere fact of his/her being noticed or responded to. Hence: DNFTT = Do not feed the trolls. Ignore certain reponses as if they never happened. It will not discourage a true troll, but it saves you a lot of hassle by somebody who needs a site not to play chess, but for anybody in this world to actually take them seriously.
As a possible example, note the time Onceupon has been on this site and compare that to the actual amount of games that he has played so far. Note the amount of responses he put in various threads on this forum and I'll rest my case at that.

Well well...I do not consider sexist quotations as trolls, because I know a lot of chessplayers who sincerely think women are not made to play chess. The last famous champion chessplayer who said it is Levon Aronian :
www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=5025
Taking it as a troll just allow sexist chessplayers to go on with insults, and misbehavings with women on tournaments, and to discourage women to play chess.
Two days ago, I've been playing with that kind of opponent on a tournament, and the first words he had when coming to the table has been : "Look ! a woman !....seems like I'll soon become a gay, because only gays like to play with women !". 
After his loss, he did not even care to shake hands or say a word to me.
Maybe it is hard to believe for you, but women sometimes have a hard time playing chess in competition. 
It goes from simple sexist quotations to sexual harassment.
I never take it for trolls.

Don't you mean put your foot in it?

I knew some fool had to make a point of this sooner or later. The number of games I complete in a given period of time is of no concern to anyone. I play at my own pace and when I feel like it. If there's a rule against this, please show it to me.
I generally have more time to pop in now and then to read and write something than I have to ponder a chess move for an hour or so. When I feel up to playing, I play. I'm not the type to make a move simply because I can point at things and click.
