Berserk!

It´ s a question of honor and pride to go Berserk.
It´ s like Harakiri ! Honorable players do it or re Berserk as a sign of respect to the offer of your oponent.
In the good old days it was a question of honor to accept a gambit.
otherwise you might be considerd a lightweight :)
not going re berserk is like getting slaped in the face and saying thank you.
Opponents berserking is always good news.
They are in a hurry. I'm not.
I'm using all my time. Carefully evaluating every options.
I can do other things while thinking about my move.
Make myself coffee. Saying hello to a friend. Smelling flowers.
Life is good when my opponent is berserking.
@HORRORMAKER #1 is your own opinion, not everyone's. And, lead by example. Why don't you do a little more berserking :)
People won't remember what you do. They'll remember how you made them feel.
I agree to #4 because when opponent berserk,then you have more time to think about position and... you can flag opponent :)
Unfortunately there are often too many chicken in the tounaments.
Refusing to go Berserk is bad for the game
What if i enjoy playing the endgame and want to give myself more than 40 seconds to play it? Am i without honor?
#4 "Make myself coffee. Saying hello to a friend. Smelling flowers. Life is good when my opponent is berserking." Wonderful :')
