I don't get angry at my opponents when I lose, though sometimes I'm disappointed when a tense, hard-fought game ends abruptly with a fatal blunder.  I wouldn't let yourself be bothered by folks who pull tantrums like those described.  Insults from such individuals is actually a high form of praise.

If you don't accept the rematch, then you are most likely a coward. So many times I'll win ten times in a row and then mouseslip and they take the win and run. Or I'll be in an obviously winning position and blunder and they're too scared to take the rematch. This is cowardly. I've never turned down a rematch

There is no obligation, you're right. But it is cowardly, period. And it's common courtesy. If they had to deal with insults or something, it makes sense not to rematch, otherwise, it's pathetic. And it usually happens when they know they got lucky and were in a lost position. They don't wanna rematch because they know they're likely to lose the next game

I used to get angry when I started playing chess online, I did not know that a lots of people playing chess online studied chess material just like I do (My ego was telling me wrong, I thought I was special)

I'm not happy when I lose but I don't get mad at my opponent, I may get mad at myself though. and if my opponent makes a nice move I was compliment them and tell them it was a good move and ask them if it was calculated 3 or 4 moves down the road or did they just see it

I get EXTREMELY ANGRY WHEN I LOSE. It's a problem.

Let the negative emotions channel into your next game. The fear, the anger, the hate, your opponent should feel it with every move. Only then will you understand the full power of the dark side.

Some people like to be in control and when they lose control they get angry. The behavior can vary greatly, ranging from punching the wall to offending people.

What we can not do is let this noxiously affect our relationships, but anger is a quality that helps us to progress. What would happen if we did not get angry at losing?

No one likes to lose, but some people, just because they suppress their anger, try to make it appear that they are some kind of enlightened entity guided solely and exclusively by logic.

Doing unsportsmanlike behavior insults others. Chess.com is just an online chess server. Chess is a game when at the start we don't know who'll win. Wherever you play, even if it is chess.com, lichess, fics, icc, playchess, chess on facebook, chess24, chess on a chess club somewhere in your country, chess in home playing with your family, chess with your friends, a serious chess competition, or even chess variants, you must be a sportsman. All people make mistakes. If you are angry because you lost, it's your fault, not your opponent's.

Also, be disciplined while watching a chess game, even if it is serious or not. For example you have a bet with your friend that GM 1 will defeat your friend's GM 2 in a Race to 5 Blitz match. Cheer GM 1 if you like to, but if GM 1 threw in the towel 5 times first and you lost the bet, don't get angry. GM 2 just played better. Also don't scare a player by saying, "You'll be surely lost." or any other word that makes him/her scared about his/her opponent. Everybody is equal. We all make mistakes. 

In chess, a side must make a mistake to lose. It's applicable in real life. If you make mistakes, then you fail. But you can overcome failure.

Honestly, I cry for losing a game in some games (serious only), but I overcome it. It's better not to cry over spilled milk, but crying over spilled milk is much better than getting angry to others blaming them for your mistakes.

And don't get angry for yourself if you lose a winning game.

Also, don't use the term anger for frustration.

If you were angry to yourself then you could have been depressed.
