Why are there so many impolite players in live chess?

lately I’ve come across some very impolite players when I’ve been playing 3 mins. Last match my opponent said “cowards are blocked” and earlier today I was accused of cheating after my opponent blundered his queen. There used to be so many friendly people in live chess. Why are there so many angry people in live chess now? I might have to have a break from it and wait for the friendly players to return.

Yeah, it's odd. The rest of the internet is a petting zoo. The real miracle is that you previously met all those nice people there.

I tend to find that my opponents in daily chess do tend to be less competitive an opponent in live chess. Must be the strains and pains of live chess that bring out the worst in people sometimes.
