No more re-match guilt trips!

So after debating the subject of rematching on the forum, I just played a game of blitz.   I played black first game and won (pretty easily).  Then the guy asks for a rematch and I hesitate. Then he begs. I finally give in.  I play white and get his queen trapped (I almost lost a bishop first by not retracting it immediately after check).  This is all about 2.5 minutes into the game.  Then he stops moving on the clock.  So screw the rematch guilt.  I give the guy a break and then he jerks me around when he loses.    Folks: Just do what you want to do.  If you don't want to rematch, don't.  You don't owe it to anyone.

If irony and hypocrisy werent so common and ubiquitous it would be entertaining.  But it's more like I should have anticipated it/known better.  Whatever, I scored about 16 points off of him.
