Hmmm. I fail to see why you would consider someone who doesn’t want a rematch a jerk. Could be many reasons why they decide not to play. One of them could be that they don’t want to play with a guy who calls anyone who wont play on demand a jerk.
On here I get past the problem of rematches by playing two games against almost every opponent - that way if I lose both games there is no way I am going to ask for more beatings.

I’ve played blitz and bullet on the Internet for about 10 years and I’ve been called jerk, faggot and many more unsavoury things because I like just one game against an opponent and then move on to the next player.
Why is this?
I don’t understand why no rematch would bother anyone. It doesn’t seem to be about the result either. I’ve been insulted by both winners and losers.
Maybe its about the anonymity of the Internet. People are braver when they are not face to face with someone. That might explain why I have never encountered it in OTB blitz.

Originally posted by TyrannosauruschexGetting to Peacedog's point, too, somehow playing two games, one as black and one as white on this site seems like enough to me, where I don't really feel the need to rematch or feel very obligated to give one.

In blitz, I think there is an element of politeness to rematches because blitz has so much of a time element to it. Its not really luck, but its easy to lose a game or two to really dumb mistakes (or on time trying to avoid a really dumb mistake). Playing more than just one game helps reduce the "luck" part of blitz. Also, rematches are one way to say "I enjoyed playing with you".
