I've smashed five computers because those cowards ran away...
A simple algorithm would solve this once and for all; will V3 fix this intractable plroblem?
why do so many reject a second game especially if they loose?

Too many threads have been made about this nonsense and the feeling of entitlement torwards getting a rematch. The points were already made no need to repeat them. Calling him pathetic just needed to be said.
Can't disagree with any of this. What you said here is much better than saying something about his spelling.
To be honest, somebody who speaks english as a first language, and mispells a 4 letter word deserves to be shamed.
Okie. You got me. Which word was spelled incorrectly?

Exactly (although "I am fed up with so many players, etc...would have been more correct).
The isuue is not with the spelling, syntax and grammar, it is with the issue of rematch obligation.
Yea or Nay?

Seems like "I hate it when people won't accept a rematch" is vying for the lead in the most overused forum topic sweepstakes. Right up there with "is e4 better than d4" and "who's the greatest chess player ever".

I think you mean LOSE, not LOOSE.
How many different answers do you want?
Maybe they only have time for one game.
Maybe they only have time for five games, and this WAS that fifth game.
Maybe they just need a break, after playing so badly.
Maybe their cat needs feeding.
Maybe they think you are too strong for them, and they want a more evenly-matched opponent.
A better question is, why are you so "fed up" with it? Aren't there thousands of other players logged on, waiting to play games? What's the difference if you play one of those players instead?
An even BETTER question is, why are there so many people who can't spell the word LOSE?
I win more often when I'm loose...;=)

O.K. Let's settle it once and for all, as civilized people do and have a referendum.
If the no votes for rematch obligation win, a petition will be made to Staff to "inhibit or "preempt" any furthur threds re this issue.
If yes votes win, program will be imbedded in V3 to enforce rematch engagement.
Fair enuf?

That's just the tip of the iceberg:
Women and chess - This topic comes under many guises such as 'Can women play chess' and 'Why can't women play chess'.
Bobby Fischer - This one resurfaces every couple of months. Usually some post about if BF was really one of the greatest chess players ever.
The new opening post - Someone comes along with some 1/2 wit opening that has worked sometimes for them in blitz and think it is the opening to end all openings.
Chess.com ratings vs. FIDE/USCF ratings. Someone with a complete lack of understanding of statistics and statistical pools gets the idea their blitz score is representative of a real OTB rating.
Everyone on Chess.com cheats. They claim 1/2 the users on Chess.com are cheaters. They don't seem to understand that most people lose around 50% of their games naturally.
Kleelof is the most awesomest user on chess.com. Ok, so maybe this one is not posted enough, or ever. But one can hope.

Well, in all fairness, he is American. And, supposedly, the average high school graduate in America has an 8th grade reading level.

The remath option...?
If they can fix the problem once with rudimentary programming skills, why do the math again?
Really, anyone who even asks for a rematch should at least get a Fair Play Warning.

Presumably for the same reasons they insist on rehashing all the other topics which reappear time and time again - causing argument, resenrment and hot headed behaviour. They appear to derive some sort of entertainment from it.
