I couldn’t deliver checkmate but I actually crushed the person on the board and lost by two seconds so they deserve the win. Oh…
You did not crush them in time. The clock is there for a reason.

It is not too late to improve your skills in finding and delivering checkmate. Many patterns should be perceived instantly. Train with the resources listed here and you will succeed more often. http://chessskill.blogspot.com/2021/11/learning-checkmate-or-teaching-it.html
It is easy Else you should have simplified stuff much earlier and promoted one of your pawns to a queen.

I like the way you are subtly roasting him
A lost position in no way equates to a lost game. That's just rationalization. One is theoretical, the other must be proven within the time-control to which you agreed to play under. If you fail to prove it and lose on time, that's all on you. It's definitely not up to your opponent.
Almost everything you are saying is wrong. Please don't try to present this discussion as symmetrical. You insulted other players by calling them "indecent" and "poor sports". I asked you to apologize - you didn't. I reported you. Hope you get at least a warning from the staff (although I don't think you deserve to have your account closed).
dylanpthomas, I suggest you to watch this movie and to learn how such situations are resolved at the highest level (also please read the 1st comment with a detailed description)

If resigning a blitz game is lunacy, what describes the act of complaining about your opponent not resigning? Incitement to Lunacy?

Poor sportsmanship.
Yes, flaggers are not Chess players, but we are not playing Chess; we are playing Chess with Clocks.
Dude you lost, badly. You were behind in material, you were behind in time, you played poorly. Hold your L quietly.
Ok so why didn't you resign after that massive 20 second blunder?
Oh, and "agree to disagree" is said solely by people who are unable to defend their nonsense.
Here are the irrefutable facts of the game I posted. I found it and went through the report.
At no point was I down in material, not sure why multiple people keep saying I was, that is false. We were even in material until move 19 when I went up +1. After move 20 I’m up +2. After move 26 I’m up +4. After move 39 I’m up +5.
People keep talking about my massive blunder. The computer recognizes it as a mistake, not a blunder. In that position it was +3.78 better for White (my opponent). Two moves after that, my opponent made an actual huge blunder and the position became +5.05 for me.
The end result is me with three passed pawns, I’m about to capture my opponents last pawn so that there is zero chance of promotion, the enemy king is stuck on the back rank, and I’m up an entire bishop which means I would be up six points.
For the last 12 to 15 moves of the game my opponent is just moving as quickly as possible to run my clock out because they know it’s over. After move 42 it was +11.3 for me. In the final position it says mate in 7 for black.
None of this is debatable, my [mod edit: removed inappropriate language - JG] just sat here and went through the report and wrote all of this to make sure this is settled. Like I said, it comes down to opinion. If I was them I would be resigning because I feel that’s the respectful thing to do when the game is lost. Lots of people disagree with me and that’s fine, that’s your opinion.
@dylanpthomas, why do you play Blitz without increment if you don't like it?
