To respect players, we should respect an individual's choice to say or not say whatever they want!
Simple
also, we should choose carefully and rarely when we feel disrespected or offended. ain't no point feeling disrespected at any little thing that happens. it's a waste of energy.

No, we don't.
Especially not in fast games.
Especially not when there's lots of reasons to hide the chatbox in general.

@dugguharisankar some of us do no chatting at all. no disrespect meant; we just play zen mode, analyze our games, move on to a new opponent. respect is still there, anonymous respect, hope you can assume it without a reminder
respecting player is a good sportsmanship. Isn't it?
How to respect players
don't stall. don't let time run out instead of resigning. If you have to leave a game early, resign and maybe say "I'm sorry , have to leave".
don't be rude in the chat
don't abuse the "takeback" and "add time" buttons.
don't cheat.
I think that's all.

It depends. For me I use it to insult my opponents after each game or before a game because I know they get insulted most of the time.
So if they took it as a compliment, which is rare, that's good. If they took it as an insult, which is common, that's better for me.

meh, first off you give praise where praise is warranted, otherwise it is trivial and meaningless. I would guess that most serious players get satisfaction from the way they have played, from knowing it was good, regardless of whether or not we are praised.
I wouldn't thank someone just for playing. But if a grandmaster agreed to play me, I WOULD say thank-you because they have given me their time.
If someone is clearly better than me, I would not say good game at all. That is sort like saying I am good enough to appreciate the game on his/her level. The stronger player just might be thinking "Yeah? How would you know?",
I remember one guy I played, he had beaten me convincingly the first five games, then he made a rare tactical error that ended up costing him the game. He said good game and I didn't like that. Because I had considered that he had lost the game, not that I had won it. I was a little embarrassed
