Yeah -sometimes playing on feels like an insult to the opponent but when two players do not know each other ....online randoms.. and one person gets insulted by the other playing on ... it can also be read as ' how dare you play on against me , I am so good and never lose these positions'
I have even been insulted for playing on after I get the draw by stalemate or time victory.... 'find the resign button moron ' even though I have shown it is worth fighting to the end ... In their mind they are right no matter what ... They cannot understand the position on the board is direct reflection on the time I have used on finding moves and if I have moved too fast then I have to try and use time to win the game other wise I would always be playing to the pace of my opponent, dancing to their tune.
Boils down to people trying to bring club rules to an on-line environment which has evolved perfectly IMO down to clock being just as important as the moves.
That being said, there are some times resign button should be pressed and it is maliciously not. Easy to block these players and move on!
