These things are not unfair. Stop calling them unfair.

#1 "My opponent is stalling because I'm winning that's so unfair"
You are complaining that your opponent is using ALL the time that YOU YOURSELF AGREED to them having for the entirety of the game? That is one of the most idiotic complains I have ever heard. I understand it can be annoying, but that's like saying "my opponent beat me I'm so annoyed that's so unfair"
#2 "My opponent flagged me that's bad sportsmanship"
You mean you are actually complaining that your opponent is using a mechanic of the game that EVERYONE is allowed to use? that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. It's like saying "My opponent checkmated me that's so unfair they should not be allowed to play the game"
#3 "My opponent didn't accept my takeback that's so unfair they are a cowardly loser who just wants cheap wins"
Do I really have to explain why this is an extremely idiotic complained?
So I don't really know why I made this. Probably because I was bored. I know this will get a lot of(unfair:) dislikes, but I don't really give a ****. I just want to make some people realize that their complaints are really really really stupid, and they should spend their time studying instead or reading a book or playing sports or learning a language or something.

You can just ignore those people and block them because when you do they won’t be able to chat with you anymore.

Yes but you can ignore them because only the most recent and popular forum posts show up.
@pUrpLegReeNniNga. True but people don't do that. And even if they did there would still be a lot of unnecessary posts complaining about the dumbest things imaginable.
Totally agree on #2 and #3. #1 however, sure if my opponent is trying to find a solution thats not a problem, but sometimes ppl just waste time, when there is not a slight chance of flagging. I recently had a game where a opponent played KR vs KR till the 50 moves kicked in with more than 3min for each of us. That is just unnecessary.
I agree with these mostly, but for #1 people will literally just sit there without actually thinking intentionally just taking up time to spite you. If they are actually thinking it's fine.

They will literally go do something else on their computer or something. It's fine to take their time that we agreed to to play chess but just sitting there staring at a ticking down clock for 8 minutes (until they lose on time) with mate in 1 next isn't really chess. It's no different than them just abandoning the game rather than resigning.
With that being said, #2 and #3 are both fair points and I agree completely!
