Bad manners on Lichess

Hello, this is a bit of a rant, but what's wrong with the ill-mannered people on this website? I come across a lot of them, and it's pretty discouraging to experience their attitudes. I'm talking about when you add time for people when they ask for it but when you run out of time and you ask for the same thing they don't, those who ask for takebacks but deny yours... What makes people become so ungrateful/rude, just to snatch a dirty victory?
Insights from these rude people is welcome. I'm genuinely trying to know the reasoning behind this behavior. Sorry if it looks like I'm salty.
On a last thought, maybe a honor system that displays a "title" or a symbol that demonstrates good behavior could help with reducing the amount of ill-mannered people.
At least, you have a personal ban button. Modern people often have bad manners. No matter we are talking about chess or real life.

However I usually do not ask or accept takebacks (if it is not a mouse slip issue), beacause it did not comply with FIDE rules.
You've got to understand there are a wide range of ages represented here. The bad manners used to bother me until I realized it's likely a 10 year old.
#1 people are ungreatful, rude and egoistic. get over it. accept it. if they weren't there wouldnt be wars and poverty all around the globe.
#5 Ill-mannered people cause wars. I'm taking note. The next person who denies a takeback when I accepted one of theirs shall be met with at least a tank. "Takeback request denied" was fighting words anyway.
(it's more of a joke than sarcasm, I know there's a lot of evil in this world)
Are you new to chess or something? Chess players will do anything for a few rating points!
@CafeMorphy I just feel like you can stay classy, when the outcome only affects a rating in an online game that isn't really going to be relevant anywhere else. I'm not new to chess (however I'm new to Lichess) but these manners are surprisingly bad in my opinion. I really didn't expect reciprocated good manners to be an option, here.
