In-Game Chat Etiquette

Hello dear readers;

What do you think about the in-game chat? What is the proper way to make small-talk? Yesterday I was playing with a fellow who seemed to be a tad too extroverted. At first he seemed like a geniunely nice person, then he began to annoy me, probably without even realising. Here is he conversation:

A: Hi

Me:Hi, good luck!

A: Thanks

A: Where are you from?

I don't know why he asked this even though my flag is not 'Global'.

Me: Turkey

A: good

A: Male?

A: Are you a man or a woman?

I just wanted to play, not to talk with this person. Nothing personal or regarding his nationality, though.

Me: I don't feel like this question needs to be answered.

Me: Nothing personal, but I don't want to give information about myself over the internet.

This was not the truth, but I did not want to upset him so I made this excuse.

A: nice

A has left the chat.

A has joined the chat.

A: I am man named ***** from *****

A: living in ***

Me: Nice

A: And you?

I already told him I don't want to give info.

A has left the chat.

5 minutes later -game abondoned.

Looking back to the conversation I felt like I was a little bit rude but I clearly stated that I didn't want to share information but he still kept asking. So what do you think? Is it OK to ask for name, gender etc.?

Also, most of the time when I wish good luck or say things such as 'Great game.' 'Did not see that coming!' after the game ends people don't respond and just leave the chat. Do I go too far saying these things?

There are a few strange people out there. I don't think you were rude. It depends on the time control. There's nothing wrong with trying to be friendly.

Thank you. I felt sort of rude but disagreement of a 3rd person is a relief.
