"Whenever I offer a draw in a draw-worthy position, my draw offer is repeatedly declined."
The first time your draw offer is declined that means your opponent does not want a draw. When you offer a draw a 2nd time you are distracting your opponent and I call that cheating. When people do this to me they get blocked. Actually they get blocked if they ask for a draw only once. I don't need the distraction when I'm trying to think.
I suggest if you want a draw then try to repeat the position 3 times. If your opponent does not cooperate that means the answer is no. This way you're not distracting your opponent. This is called "being civilized".
I have no tolerance for quitters. If they start a game they should finish it.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

Then when my opponent tries to make progress, they inevitably worsen their position and I end up winning. So I want to know, why the opposition to draws?" This was my reply:
