you disrespected me in two different ways, you can't weasel out of it by saying you didn't actually call me stupid, you just implied it. ironic considering the title of this thread, no?
@h2b2 reread what I said. Goodbye.
@emniteshomilon To be honest with you, he made a blunder, and you only paid attention to it after many moves had passed
Even if you won, it was not a deserved win because you did not win because you did a great performance and you didn't even take advantage of his obvious mistake immediately
I don't want to disappoint you, but only if you want an achievement like this that it must be truly real

@ZackErra so because neither of us saw a pawn push that I took advantage of, my acheivment is null? Got it, thanks for the input. I'll just tell the Grand Master that every time he won a game where he didn't immediately act on his opponents mistakes, he didn't deserve it. You've opened my eyes, thank you, random 1700 rated player. I clearly shouldn't be proud of beating a gm, silly me.

"this was a simul so in my mind, time was of the essence for both sides"

At the end of the game, you had 4 minutes and 35 seconds left on your clock, and he was not moving in the game. He had over an hour remaining. Time should not have been an issue for you to decide if you should accept the draw.
"If you read my original statement, I actually said I declined the draw, and if you really did read the chat, you're well aware of his asking me to offer a draw."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the simul's chat:
- GM: emnites lets make a draw
- emniteshomilon: ok
- GM: can you offer pls?
- emniteshomilon: yeah
He asked you for a draw which you initially declined. Him asking you to offer a draw comes after you said ok. You had indicated your intent to accept the draw offer. Him asking you to send the offer is simply because he couldn't. It's for technical reasons, not him lying to you.
The only thing he did was offer a draw in a lost position. He never said nor implied that there was any other reason he wanted a draw. If you read intent from a draw offer and him saying "lets make a draw," that's on you, especially considering that he asked *you specifically* when, according to your original comment, the other games were still in progress.

The OP is all too typical of these sorts of posters...someone who affects an air of concerned politeness from the start, but who in fact only listens to those who agree with him (and bristles with hostility at any other suggestion).
Can someone stop this BS? Draw offered, draw accepted. If you find the chat outrageous, report. You don’t have to give reasons for your moves or draw offers.
My recommendation is not chatting at all.
GET. OVER. IT.

Mods please close. This is drifting badly off course.
Hello Emnites, I wish you are great! Well, people have different opinions on everything, so you should think and make the right solution that you think is safe and may calm you and let you feel as you've done with your problem. My opinion is that if someone disrespects you, you have to tell something polite in the chat, and if he thinks the wrong and completes disrespecting you, then you can block him, to warn him how to behave with people, and if he's still very bad at behaving and talking with people and do such things only because his chance to loose, that is not good, then you can ban him if he really annoys you. You know, maybe someone won't agree with me, but good people are not people who always have won and never lost, but those people who are losing, and know that they lost and try and play better and learn some more next time,...Because you know, I've had many people who were disrespecting me in chess, so do not worry (sometimes happens:) and so do the right thing, and never give up!
You shouldn't have accepted the draw. Based on what I see in the chat....you appear to be unsure of the position and you just give into his cheap draw offer which you should've always declined.

Be bold to decline these sort of offers next time , be it a titled or amateur player. And turn off chat during games.
