Rematches
Why does it matter if you play Anonymous Player1 or Anonymous Player2 if both are the same rating range?
Dancing with all the girls on the dancefloor is so much more fun then dancing with the same girl over and over again. Eventually she will start nagging and demand you change somehow.
There's no obligation to rematch, but it's considered proper etiquette in chess. Mainly each player should have a chance to play white since white has the advantage.
I understand sometimes people don't have the time, but I rarely get a rematch when playing a 3 min game. Maybe 1 in 20. I think people just don't have manners online. Over the board, people give each other more respect. Online, people think it's ok to be rude because they're hiding behind a username.

yes, it is normal
I just declined a rematch to go here
lol
sorry, but people who use the engine at ~1200 level aren't even good at cheating, so I think you're overthinking things. Have you checked those games with the engine? Are those moves normal moves in the position? Most people can't be bothered, really, to start an engine mid-game.
I mean, you only play blitz and bullet so it's a very short time control.
I refuse rematches as a matter of principle, win or lose. In life, I generally dislike hyper-competitive people, and those who lose and want rematches are generally these kinds of people (not always, just usually). I'm sorry if you feel the need to avenge your loss, but it's not my job to oblige and if you rage because you lose, well, all the better because I find those kinds of people annoying. And if you're wondering about those cases where the person just makes a mouse-slip and wants a rematch, if it's obvious, I just offer draws and move on.
In general, I decline rematches. Since I play games 30 0 and longer, I usually want to take a break before another game.
very normal... sometimes i'm in the mood for a series of games, but usually not.
i refuse rematches all the time for a multitude of reasons, none of which include me being a poor sport or wanting to feel superior to my opponent:
working on passports... doing chores... breakfast... lunch... dinner... bath... work... bed... analyzing... already playing... low battery... doorbell... cat threw up... et cetera, et cetera... ad nauseum, ad infinitum.
This person here is the reason I don't ever accept rematches.
Mad because bad + ratio + cope + mald
