Do you allow takebacks?

playing chess on a board its impossible to make a mouse slip.
this is why I request takebacks if I make a slip, which happens every 10 games or so, because I'm using a trackpad.
#10 is right. #9 is wrong. I know this because I agree with #10 and so it must be true ;)

What I don't get is why this guy puts up a poll where all the answers are sitting on the fence!

I mean, imagine you have to answer this:

Q: Do you smoke crack?

1) Often
2) Sometimes
3) Rarely

Me, I'd want to say "No"!!!
#13 There is no circumstance at all, out of all the possible circumstances that could exist, in which you would not allow a takeback, or smoke crack?

That is closed-minded, pure and simple.
#14 What's wrong, don't you like conversation?
#15 If I may correct you, there's no circumstance that I have yet thought of...
Thanks for clarifying, but the error in my post was only the double-negative.

In most games, I would usually allow a takeback of a move if I haven't replied to it yet.
In bullet, I would never allow a takeback, not even for an obvious mouse slip.
#17 So as you see, I managed both a clarification and a correction in only 14 words!

#19 The problem in bullet is that people take advantage. When I used to have my takebacks turned on, I'd get a whole load of tb requests when I had 10 seconds left on the clock!
