The winner says 'GG' after a big win. Appropriate?

Quite often we see that verbal sparring arises when a winner says 'GG' after a big win.
The winner may consider 'GG' to be a polite statement while the loser can regard this statement as a patronizing and/or self-congratulatory remark.
What's your opinion?
DOES IT REALLY MATTER ??

Whichever whoever whenever wishes to say GG then why on earth would someone take offence to that ???
Win or lose & i do a lot more of the latter, i say GG. If that offends my opp then sorry but in my eyes it is manners, whether the game *** or is a nail biter.

One of the players I regard most is Siren. she is ssoooooo polite. For me, who cares! Anything you utter after winning a game is still offensive to a losing player as long as the latter happens not to be a good sport.

Nice to read comments like that 
Have to say no matter how high this lady's rating is (& it's HIGH) she always invites us lower ranked, a great sport.
Siren.
I agree.

I'm always saying GG, as I feel it just a matter of good manners.

In my book, it's good manners to be considerate of other people's feelings.
When you just had a huge win, is it really good manners to 'rub it in' by being the 1st one to automatically say 'GG' (good game)?
I think it would be more appropriate here to withhold your automatic 'gg' -- just out of 'good manners'.
Hmm.

What would you suggest then? Just leaving the game? In MY book, that would be considered rude.
GG is cool

Win or lose, I feel elated whenever my opponent says GG after the game. If the loser felt offended, its his/her problem ( GA - Good Answer).
Instead of 1st saying 'GG' a 'BIG' winner may...

Instead of 1st saying 'GG' a 'BIG' winner may...
pick one:
* wait for the loser to say something 1st
* say sorry I got lucky here
* just use your imagination and say something that would not offend like being 1st to say:
GG <meaning...congratulations to ME!?> and <I deserved this BIG win!!!>
... it ain't as cool as you may think... Even total silence in this case is preferrable to this 'coolness'
well.

I played a considerable number of games and with a lot of opponents but GG seems to be the best one to impart rather than, lets say, I was just lucky.
GG !

It's very nice for someone to say Good Game to you -but in most cases it's just habit and if you have just lost by a big margin what's the response - thank you or what? because to you it wasn't a good game.
GG still

Hey, i dont feel offended when my opponent said GG after I lose. Better that ' Play Harder ' or ' Go Play With A Baby ' !!!

I see a bit of the 'verbal sparring' went on here
If I lose I say 'gg', if I win I say nothing. Although if I've only won by a very small margin I say 'gg'.
How about this.

I don't think GG is appropriate unless it is actually a GG and that depends upon the players own ideas. When someone gets great cards and skunks the opponent in gin i find it offensive to say GG when it was only a one-sided match. Therfore I think an appropriate comment after it's over is simply, 'Thanks for the game(s)'
Polite players will show respect and the rude players have nothing to say to that.
What do you all think?
GG is better

saying GG after a win is definitely more polite than just leaving the room or uttering other pot shots against a losing opponent.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
