Sure, politeness has its place (in the case of ket, though, thornicate did seem to be, at least), but then the problem is not the game situation at all (that he quit at site 2), but that he's not a polite person/player, which, by itself, would be enough to, yes, put them up as bad players, though I'd be willing to let offenses slide if the player came back to apologize after a while. Sometimes, right after taking some bad beats, people are just not in the mood to congratulate. What can I say? There are a lot of whiners and sore losers out there, it happens. The problem is when being a sore loser spills over, like mager moving stuff around on GCCG, people cursing in the middle of a game etc. "Needing a little time", by itself, would not be an offense, at least to me.
