"Never resign crowd", why do you think that offering a draw in a lost position is disrespectful?

A common argument for playing on in a lost position is the idea that one is "operating within the rules of the game", and that if people are annoyed by this, they can play a different game. Well, guess what? Offering a draw in a lost position is also "operating within the rules of the game". Are you not contradicting yourselves? No matter from which angle you look at it, it does not seem to be sportsmanlike to play on in a lost position.

Oh, and please only comment if you have an actual counter-argument. "someone never learned to convert", "this guy was just stalemated", "hahahaha" *aren't* counter-arguments.
