why are some people such a jerk

i have had 3 missclicks today, and everybody declines, even when they are obvious. wtf people?
Some people just have no sympathy. Were they tournament games or free play?
I think you should think of it as part of the game you can improve on.

E.g. You make a huge blunder and lose your queen. You kick yourself and resign, but use it to motivate you to practice improving your tactical vision to reduce chances of making similar mistakes.

Same way, you misclick and and it's enough to cost you the game. You resign, but remember the lesson learned and in the future try to make moves with more precision to reduce chances of misclick.
Well, for some people, winning at games is a way to stave off negative emotions accumulated through their life. Now the hard questions : do you consider that this applies to you, and if so, what are the sources of these emotions ?
@soccerfreak1213 Why are you calling people the derivative of acceleration?

Jk, it's not always clear whether you mouseslipped or made an actual blunder. To avoid that, people just don't accept takebacks. Or, they avoid that argument altogether by switching off takebacks (like me).
If you play rated don't expect your opponent to help you win...simple as that.
