"In every game and con, there is always an opponent, and there is always a victim. The trick is to know when you're the latter so you can become the former." - Mr Green
Me Gina, your opponent is always your customer, because the customer is always the victim.

I've been called a runner, and someone scared of losing when I beat someone pretty soundly and don't accept the opponent's rematch.
I rather play a new opponent each time than someone bitter of losing the first time.
What do you think?
I wouldn't know. I've never won.

In our case, no rematch from you and after that maybe your customers will throw rocks through your business windows 😉

As a general rule: if you played the white pieces and won, it's good sportsmanship to accept a rematch and give your opponent a chance to be white. If you won with the black pieces, or if you lost as white, that's not so much the case.
That said, if someone is going to be petulant about not getting a rematch, they didn't deserve one anyway, from either side of the board.
Ultimately though, who you accept a rematch from is your business, no one else's. Block someone if needed.
Is there an actual argument for why this is or should be considered good sportsmanship? Because if its just your opinion, I don't see why anyone should follow it
They get angry because they wanna second chance to beat you. !!!!

Haha, I wouldn't say that... It's fun to get tricked now and then

Here's my last one before they get boring:
"Now you're looking for the secret. But you won't find it, because, of course, you're not really looking. You don't really want to work it out. You want to be fooled." - John Cutter

I know somebody very dear to me who would love to be lied to about the calories that go into the mean chocolate cake I bake from time to time. Sadly, that's not how it works. You know you get all these vegan people talking about "healthy" desserts, and I can't help but chuckle, I say dessert is a cheat food, it's as simple as that. You have a little, now and then, because it's a cheat food. Don't try to sell me less at an ever higher price and dazzle me with the calorie counts or health jargon, give me good dessert, I know how to handle it.

@bartnic1
You can follow it or not, it makes no difference to me. I was just responding to the OP's question. But if you're asking where it came from, I remember a well known GM - renowned for his sportsmanship - clarifying it during an online stream.

Accepting a rematch show you are not affraid to play again. Leaving the board without even send a message saying "sry htg", which takes a few seconds to type in, let your opponent think either you are affraid to play again and you got lucky/unlucky playing the first game, or you were cheating, or else. In the end it's a courtesy thing and a good sportsmanship.
Wow, how self-involved do you have to be to need to be mollycoddled in this way.
Life is happening outside of this browser, actual children need feeding - not the demanding internet kind. Actual doorbells notify, actual phones ring, meanwhile some fragile individual who does not like being told "no" is angrily venting their spleen at you over the internet.
A WOW if I want to analyse my game before moving on - what kind of animal must I be!
We are here to play, if there is a genuine implied rematch rule - set it in stone and I will know to change servers. Then when you rematch the guy he will still get sore when you don't rematch him after he loses again, so you stay there, their captive until THEY decide they have had enough.
It's time for this server to find a way to let the petulant just play each other, and leave the rest of us out of it.
What about you talk with someone face to face and suddenly you mobile phone starting to ring and you answer without to apologize to the person in front of you?
What about two GM starting to play the games without shaking hands?
Or, even saying: "Good luck!", before the game starts?
your,sry
Life is outside of this browser - I frequently pop on to play a game in between doing something else. I don't come here to pacify and please angry needy people by giving them everything they want, or they'll complain about me. Sadly - that is what happens. The emotionally balanced can cope with being told 'no', this crowd - cannot.
The GM analogy is silly.
No opponent is a customer of mine..are they ?
