You are an extra snowflakey snowflake.
I offered a Draw when I was very clearly winning. Was this good etiquette?

What do you mean? I thought offering a Draw when I'm losing is the wrong way. So basically, offering a Draw is wrong etiquette regardless of what's happening?
you offer a draw when the position seems equal
offering a draw when you are winning is throwing the game you don't offer a draw when you are ahead you win
offering a draw when you are losing is hoping they will accidentally hit yes, its a jag move

When you are winning, offer a checkmate.
When you are losing, offer a resignation.
When it is drawn, offer a draw.

Yes, this is most excellent etiquette!! It’s very rude to win games. And you should always either lose or offer a draw when you’re about to win.

As I said above… the way of the true gentleman is is make sure that you either lose every game or offer a draw when you’re about to win. And if two gentlemen are both playing and it’s not clear who’s winning, they should both keep offering draws until one of them loses on time.
u gotta be satire ^
In my most recent game, I offered a Draw for my opponent when I was very clearly winning. I forked their Queen and, later, their Rook. They accepted immediately. I'm told at my level to never Resign (for... reasons...) but I instead offered a Draw. Was this good etiquette to follow?
Slight tangent: the Game Review showed that I could have literally ended the game with a Checkmate on the turn of the Draw. I'm content either way.
