Resigning in Chess

When my opponent doesn't resign, I try to humiliate them as much as possible.
I regularly queen every pawn here if they don't resign. in OTB I once promoted pawns to each missing piece, set up the pieces, then proceeded to checkmate with queen and king. helped reset the pieces faster.
Not resigning against a strong enough player = disrespect for opponent
Not resigning against a weak player = taking your chances
go figure
I hate when In 100% lost positions my opponents don't resign and keep trying to flag me
Never understood the pleasure of humiliation.
It just wastes the time - my time! I could rather use it for the new game.
Am always trying to checkmate/finish the game ASAP if they dont resign.
It also avoids possible mouse-slips, stalemates or disconnects...
When and if my opponent resigns is none of my business. When I resign, there's a lot of rage-quitting. After that, if my opponent shows they know how to finish me off, I'll usually resign. Usually.
Resigning is a perfectly valid thing to do in a lost position. Most serious OTB games that are not drawn end with resignation rather than checkmate.

Some consider it bad etiquette not to resign but to drag out the game, however there is no obligation to resign.
DO NOT resign against sx random or randommoverbot even if they have 10 queens hey will screw up trust me.
People do not resign when they are late n lost position some people say we should never resign we should play till checkmate
What kind of sheep needs to be told when to resign or not?
If you are enjoying the game, stay with it; if not, not.
Think for yourself.
#4 Lastly comes a slow and sought after death which for the person delivering it feels similar to an orgasam after a night of rough s€x with a cheap hooker at a highway motel.

lol... very poetic and yet very relatable :)
