Annoyed with players who only play white

I'm really annoyed with the players who only play with the white pieces. A typical scenario is, I'll join their table playing the black pieces. They win, but refuse to play another game because that would entail that they play the black pieces. They'd close the table, and immediately open another table where they control the white pieces. I can understand if someone is done for the time being, but that's not what I'm referring to. I guess sportsmanship is a foreign concept to these players. Thoughts anyone?
Practice by color...

Some players here prefer playing a series of games with the same color just for practice.
I've seen some players who'd insist on playing only Black & others who'd insist on playing only White. Still others would just insist on getting annoyed...
Yeah

Some players are just better at black or white. I'm about a 70% player as black, while 40-50% at white. I normally deny a second game as well - I like black!

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.
