Would you accept draw. ..??

I tend to not accept a draw even if the opponent makes a mistake. I can just as easily make a mistake, and I have no way of knowing when an opponent will accept a draw offer, so in fairness I think we should all accept what comes and it will even out anyway.

As Amelia mentioned before, what does it matter if we are 1800 or 2800? I add to this, what does it matter if we lose a game?

Same as above. If I know you well enough then yes - if not no.

Play slower and use a good emery board on your fingernails

I sometimes have this problem on long castling where you are looking at where the castle ends up and slip the king.

No, because there is no way to distinguish a genuine mouse slip and just a ?? move.

Settings -> Live chess -> Premove

I would not ask for a draw if I made a mouse slip nor do I expect a draw offer from my opponent when I blunder. It is my responsibility if I play live chess with a mouse that is not functioning well.

I only accept draws if there's nothing but kings on the board.

If I am playing with my friend from friend lists, I will definitely accept draw at his/her request. However with other players I will

never accept .

Suppose you were playing Magnus.

He made a mouse slip and offered you a draw. IF you win you get 50 rating points. If you draw, you get 10. If you lose you forfeit 1. 

Would you take it?

The points are irrelevant to me. If I don't deserve them, then I'll lose some games and lose them again.

You do deserve them because you were careful enough not to make a mistake on your move. Do you offer a draw to a tournament player because they accidentally touched a piece they didn't intend to move? 

It's the same concept. There is a rule in place that governs how we may play. If Magnus has such a high rating, it is because he also became good at moving the mouse accurately, a skill that really isn't that hard to master. 

By deserving them I don't mean do I deserve them for that game. I mean, if my rating goes up from 1200 to 1250, am I really playing at a 1250 level? If not, my rating will eventually go back down. If so, my rating will go up anyway. It doesn't really make any difference.

In a tournament, if an opposing player accidentally touched a piece he clearly didn't intend to move, I wouldn't offer a draw, I just wouldn't expect him to move it.

I think the touch rule only applies if the person intentionally touches a piece.  For example, if a person is clearly reaching across the board to grab his rook and accidentally brushes his arm against his queen first he does not have to move his queen because he did not intend to touch the queen.  I think that's how it works; I heard that somewhere.

And even if a person does intentionally touch a piece and then realizes it is a blunder I probably would not call him/her on it because I am there to play chess.  What fun is it to win by some petty rule like that?  If they do it over and over again, however, that is a different story.

The second one was totally obvious Imo.

Yes

or to avoid mouseslips don't click, hold and drag the pieces. You can click on the piece, then click the destination square

That's funny 😂

There's no way to prove to your opponent it's a genuine case, so they shouldn't feel any obligation to draw. If that happened to me, I would just resign and curse the day my mouse was manufactured into existence

It is only internet chess, dropping two games is nothing, play more to get the points back. I have lost tens of thousands of internet chess games on various servers.

If you get a losing game due to a mouse slip--just resign. This was if your opponent claims a mouse slip you can just say: "When I have a mouse slip, I just resign, it is up to you if you wish to continue."

In a word, NEVER!
