Are you sick and tired of being accused of cheating on the net?

[Hugh Siddeley]

I generally play online blitz as a guest because playing with my regular account means I spend more time whiling away the hours playing chess than I'd like. Anyway it seems to be happening more and more frequently that opponent's are accusing me of cheating and it's getting old fast. Maybe it's because I play faster than 95% of the opponents I face or there is some idea out there that there are so many cheaters. Sometimes I say nothing in reply but other times I feel I have to prove I am not cheating by saying "you could have played this and that" or "look, I lost my last 3 games, check my history." Anyway it's getting really tiring so I've come up with a new rejoinder "Using Deep Brain v2.0, made in 1978, too bad you weren't using yours."

What's your story? Do you get accused of cheating a lot? And what do you reply to such allegations?
