Why the Opposition to Draws?

Mr. Morphy, you have been here more than a year and you have played only 11 games. Apparently you prefer harassing people instead of playing chess.
@BobC
How am I harassing? I'm just trying to help you. I'm trying to make you see that when YOU block it's you who are seeking the easy way out (quitting). And yes I much prefer casual games.
Mr. Cafe, this might a bit difficult for you to understand but here it is: I would rather play chess with the 99% of chess players I like instead the 1% I don't like.

If you don't understand that's OK. There's a lot of people like you. They just can't figure things out.
Ok I give up. Keep blocking everybody who doesn't act exactly as you wish them to act.
It's kinda sad though, that one person you blocked cause he dared to offer you a draw, could've been a really good friend.
An example of people being staunchly opposed for draws:

No draw was offered, but my opponent could have easily gotten stalemate via perpetual check. Instead, they pushed, and ended up in a losing position instead, at which point they resigned.
Some people are here to play for various reasons including practising and preliminary draws are not on the agenda. Any questions?
@blueberrymania

At what point did you offer a draw and how many times did you offer Cariosnova a draw.

He still had his queen at the end of the game. Even so he resigned when he couldn't prevent your pawn from promotion. Until then he probably felt that he had a chance. He was pursuing your king with active checks.

Why did you offer a draw when you had a winning chance. Why did you want to QUIT the game ??
#7, #11, that's weird and a bit of an over-reaction :D
I have respect for people who quit bad habits. There is always the other side of the coin that makes your preferred side possible. *shrug*

Now let me light this cigarette. :P
