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?
It is a polite thing to say

I think it is a polite thing to do. While others may see it as mocking, its most commonly used to to show good sportsmanship.
Is it 'Good Manners' for a winner to say 'GG' 1st?

In all forums there've been several responses to this topic that I did not agree with.
Many players here called the automatic 1st 'GG' (even for a winner after a big win) - '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'.

I don't think so web, I say GG after a big win or loss. Must just be my 'nature'. I try to be polite to all, losers or winners

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.
