Modern Age Competitors

So my nature of being a substitute teacher, I have extra time to play on my computer. I have found the joys of playing online backgammon though I have found people's game ethics to suck! If a competitor is losing, they just click, End Game, and that's that. Loser and quitter! You wouldn't let your friend sitting opposite you quit a game just because he or she were losing but because of the nameless faceless quality of some gaming sites, there's no accountability. I sit through games of backgammon, getting creamed and not liking it but what's the good of quitting. If you think that backgammon, is just luck (and to a large degree it is), then play something with more skill involved. Don't bag out if you are getting beat, have more integrity than that or don't play. And more importantly, let me enjoy a win every now and again instead of quitting.....
