Yeah Blitz player are more toxic than the others . And I think it is very bad chess etiquette.
Is it bad chess etiquette to request a rematch if you have just won?
Sort:
If it was a close game, then a rematch request could mean they think you're a good and interesting opponent. A request after a blowout win is pretty dodgy, though.

Yes, I think it's bad etiquette. Of course they can do it, but most want easy points, yes. I've asked some of them and they confirm this point. Some also mock on you.
Rematches... do not ask, do not grant.

yeah sure, but they could use the chat and say "good game, very close match! you want to try another?"
I guess in Blitz there is less time
No! Your opponent can decline if he doesn't want to play you again. (Declining a rematch offer, regardless of the result of the previous game, is perfectly good etiquette too!)

If a game was that good I would propose further games during the game, before it was understood who would win. These were very rare occurrences.

No, it is not bad etiquette. It never hurts to ask. Just don't be upset if your request is ignored. Many people seem to think that asking is somehow the cardinal sin, it isn't. It isn't a reflection on you either most likely. Too much is made of it in my opinion.
It´s good form to offer a vanquished opponent the chance for revenge.

I pretty much agree with this portion. Playing with good sportsmanship, etiquette, along with in a gentlemanly manner is promoted. To me, these boil down to pretty much to consideration of one's opponent. Letting the clock run out, harassment, stalling, etc. shows lack of consideration. The closer one gets to utterly destroying one's opponent, the rematch request becomes a lack of consideration for one's opponent. Perhaps this a small thing, yet it is pertinent in my opinion. Personally a request doesn't bother me, but it not something I would do.

I literally never do this, but many people seem to-- especially on Blitz. I would only ever request a rematch if I have lost or drawn, in an unlucky manner.
Requesting a rematch after you have won kind of seems like "you are easy, give more ratings points please". It is annoying, especially cos I usually want to run the game review and work out why I just lost.
Also, have any of you noticed, that on average, players on Rapid (10-0 and 15-10) are better sportsmen than Blitz players? Far less of the dumb messages and letting the clock run down
