is it polite to offer a draw when the other player blunders his Queen?

 You need someone to hate, what a pity.

Just hate people who cheat at online chess using engines.

If it is clearly a mouseslip, accept the draw if you were not in a winning position. If not, don't.

So, you need to imagine and accuse without proof, because you're so much better at spotting cheaters than Chess.com.

I already invited you to take a look at my games, but it would ruin your imaginary accusations and deprive you of your target.

It's still a need to hate someone, whatever the disguise it takes.

One move does not make the whole thing 0.4.

No! There is no mercy in chess, sorry to dissapoint, anyone can blame a bad move on anything "mouseslip", "my wife was talking in the background", "blabla", you take the piece and continue to crush the opponent, he can forfeit if he wants, he should definately not attempt to ask for a draw, that's shameful.

Depends who was winning

If he was up like a piece or more, I would sometimes

If he isn’t winning, no

When I mouseslip and feel the game is hopeless I resign. I expect the same. It's that cut and dry.  In chess one needs to take and expect full responsibility for the moves.
