Opponent is being very rude, what should I do?

Hi, I played a game with someone on an online tournament just now. My opponent requested to chat, to which I accepted. However, they ask me if i "can resign". I replied that I don't know what on earth they are talking about, since the game just started. Personally I take that as mildly offensive as if they thought I was completely not a match for them. Then they proceeded to asking if I "can read". By that point I'm pretty offended, since it's apparently rude to say anyone is illiterate when they're not (even if they are, it's still rude). I asked if they are insulting me, to which they replied that that's not what they meant. But I can't find any other interpretations for that sentence. Those two statements combined is completely offending to me (because it seems as though they're looking down on me). Am I being too sensitive, or am I correct in interpreting it as rude and offensive? I would like to know the offensive standards on this site, as well as any opinions on this. Also if I'm not being hypersensitive, should I report? I'll appreciate any help. Thanks!

Yes, it was rude. Yes, you should report them for poor sportsmanship.

There are many millions of players here and unfortunately, there are a few people like that.

The more reports they get, the sooner they will be warned. Perhaps they may learn from the experience. If not, they will eventually be removed.

OK, thanks for the suggestion! So I'm not being hypersensitive. Should I report them as verbal abuse? That's the closest one of the list of options after I clicked "report".

Yes, that is not really cool. You should have just blocked the chat though.

Asking if you can resign btw comes from a youtube video by a great youtuber named croissant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2GC6N8pB5E

Oh yeah, I didn't thought of that. Thanks for the suggestion!

I checked out the video, that guy's basically just exploiting some extreme, sometimes illegal ways of playing chess. I think he's gaming the system (he's using this site, BTW). Some youtubers just really cause trouble for real players. Thanks for sharing the link, by the way.

Sorry but you sound so much AI

Sorry if my comment sounds like it's from generative AI, but in fact it's not. If you had checked out the video, don't you agree that he's just not playing chess the right way?

Huh, this post is somehow flagged and now I'm getting warnings. Can anyone tell what's the problem with this post?

comment above yours

You mean that comment? Due to the profanity used? Also even if that's the case why am I getting the warnings? I didn't do anything wrong, just because it's my post? I really would like to know.

idk...

Nah whenever I'm in a position where I will definitely win I ask my opponent to resign and that's probably what the person here's opponent was asking

If you mean my case, the opponent asked me to resign when I haven't even made my first move (or just made my first move, I can't quite remember but it makes no difference). Also, although it might just be me, personally I think asking a person to resign anyhow is still rude or unnecessary. There are two reasons:

1. If you're near to winning but cannot be 100% sure, saying that is rude. The only case where it's not offensive is in the situation where whatever move the opponent makes, you are going to deliver checkmate in the immediate next move. Unless it's this condition, please don't say that. Your opponent may feel offended, and you may lose a friend or follower. 
2. Even if it's that situation, it's still unnecessary. Checkmating your opponent and them resigning both results in you winning. There's simply no need to ask them to resign.

So generally I would never ask anyone to resign, only to draw. If I'm about to win but would have the time to chat, I'd propose a draw. Most people won't agree to that, then I checkmate them. It's quite simple. No need to ask them to resign. That's just my personal opinion, ofc. Everyone has their own way of doing things, but personally I do not prefer doing that to others or being said that by others.

I could see why people think it's rude, but I do it to save time because it can take a lot of time to finish a game even when my opponent is completely losing because of them trying to use all their time to make a comeback. Many people who wouldn't resign otherwise do resign after I suggest them to (so I save like a few minutes every time which can add up) and they can always ignore it if they think they have a chance because it's just a suggestion.
