How to deal with people who don't rematch

Everyone rematches in bullet games.
Obviously not or we wouldn't have this thread.

BLOCK THEM right away. Sooner or later they won't be able to play anyone.
With 7 million members on this site, I doubt that they wouldn't be able to play anyone.

You mean, bullet players are more courteous than players at longer time control ?
You really believe that ?

I'm not sure how you got the impression that I said bullet players are more courteous than longer time control players. I think what I was aiming to say was that bullet players (a lot of them, but not all) often play a lot of games in one session. So offering a rematch and accepting is assumed to be common courtesy. That is, if you play and win, it is common to ask for a rematch, and most times people will play. This happens in the top games. The players will play a series of matches. That is what I understood when I wrote it. Maybe I misunderstood.

The OP was talking about BULLET games. I think. I thought he said it somewhere. Bullet games last, at most, 2 mins. Everyone rematches in bullet games. I saw, though only once, GM Dretch play a series of bullet games. Maybe 15 or more. I left after for 10 mins. If it is good enough for the top players to rematch, it should be good enough for everyone.(debatable) This is assumed to be common courtesy amongst bullet players. To offer and accept rematches in bullet games. Bullet games are fun for the whole family. Longer games are different. They are for lazy people who don't shower. However, you cannot demand a rematch because after 2 mins, people may be busy, and not have any more minutes left. In bullet games some players will not rematch when they win. They will leave when you offer a rematch. But when they lose they demand a rematch. That is, they only play rematches when they lose. Some people find this to be in bad taste. Something to do with things going both ways. If someone is being discourteous, you can block them. Theoretically this leaves only the courteous ones. Real bullets kill people, you can't block them.
That last bullet (no pun intended) made the most sense.
Hey! How come when I quote your post, it isn't in bulleted form anymore?

I understand and approve of declining a rematch for all of the reasons listed so far. Work, time constraints, or maybe you just plain don't feel like playing the same person. That's fine. But.
In my opinion, declining a rematch automatically forfeits all bragging rights. You can't say something like "Lolursobad" after winning one game and then decline a rematch. Well I guess you can, but those are the kind of people that DO deserve to be blocked and probably the people OP is talking about.
This is laughable. Who decided one must win 2+ games for one win to count? This is essentially what you're suggesting, and it's silly. Further, who braggs and attacks their opponent's skill whilst playing? If that's the case, they can keep the one win...'cause it'll be our last game.

I wd give a rematch if situation permits. I have ever given a guy 6 rematches with the score 5.5 - 0.5. Sometimes I go up 3-0, and a guy still asks for rematch. Nope, that's too convincing.
It's a good exercise for me vs these guys that I beat them.
I don't usually ask for a rematch after losing, cause I want to see my moves on last game.
What a stupid, stupid, thread. A waste of time to argue about it. But for the sake of attempting some LOGIC, many here are right. You DO NOT HAVE some "code of ethics" that DEMAND your opponent DO what YOU want them to do. They agreed to a match. If you want rematches, then say at the beginning, " I wanna play best of 3 or 5 or 21" and of course many will not play you. A few perhaps. The point is that many do not want to play the same person for a few games.Or they need breaks (like I do). This is really about your freaking ego that if you lose a game then you think that if it plays out like a football season, you will be at the top of your division or conference. But sweetie, your not the NFL......
I read several of the posts here by everyone and I can concur that this thread is child-like.
If I wanna play, I'm gonna play!! Doesn't matter if it's a rematch or new opponent. There were at least 2 oppoents I can clearly remember that wanted rematches. So I just played them again, so what!! I won one, lost one, ther other guy, I gave the game away, he royal forked me, "CRAP I didn't see that coming" I says...gg." "gg" he says.
Still having fun. If he doesn't want a rematch then find another opponent!!! What's so hard about that? I do it all the time.
Post Script: If you block me here on Chess.com, I can go to the FICS at anytime and find an opponent there. So what if I'm blocked? How is it effective?

Well, it is obvious.
When all the real players (ie the "rematch no matter what"s) will league against the other jerks, those ones will become pariahs and be chased into the woods until they are purified by fire and then chess will be a better game to play.
As the angry mob is not available yet, we have to start by a massive block. It must work, assuming the "real players" are the one I think of...
probably you should file civil proceedings in a court of law for breach of your fundamental rights and the right to rematch as guaranteed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Internation Convention for Civil and Political Rights. That will teach these non rematchers (many a times that's me 
) a lesson
When I lose ,i rematch.
When I won,the opponet rematch,I refuse

And yet you resurrected the thread which had not had a post in two weeks. Why?
lol, impressive logic.
Lol impressive reading of what you want to read...
you missed the whole bathing bit...those two go together...you cannot be one without being the other...they go together like a horse and carriage...
You think I have time or inclination to completely deconstruct your silly post? I just picked the example which made me laugh the hardest.
