Hi all,
I recently played a game which I won't link to since I don't want to name the other player in case his/her behaviour is considered legitimate per Lichess rules. In my view it should be considered trolling but I thought I should get some input before I bother mods with it. We reach this position

I'm white and it's my turn to move. At this point my opponent offers a draw. I ignore it and just make my move. A few moves later the situation is even more hopeless for the opponent and I've advanced my h-pawn removing any chance of a back rank mate. At this point my opponent offers a draw again.
After the game we have the following exchange via the messenging service.
Me - "I, and I assume others as well, would appreciate if you would stop it with the draw offers in losing positions. The only point and purpose to that is to induce misclicks and irritate the opponent. It's bad manners. Stop it."
Opponent: "I do not push anyone to accept draw, It is at the menu wich means you cannot misclick. usually, when I offer draw, I add time to opponent. If you have wanted to know why I did it, you could just ask. However, you have your own answer behalf me. have a good day."
I would consider draw offers in positions like this unsportsmanlike (and repeated offers even more so). Is this something I should report?
