Here is the vote so far:
7 votes for Re2 (unanimous)
4 votes to Offer Draw
3 votes to Not Offer Draw
...
I'll leave this up for the remainder of the day and send it with the draw offer if nothing changes.
1 vote to resign 😏
Re2 and no draw offer.
If we offer a draw, that has the most likely connotation of being a sign of weakness; therefore Mr. PawnRiot will refuse gladly and play on.
Because Mr. Riot is most likely the stronger of the two, between the forums and himself, he will offer a draw when he sees fit. If it is Mr. Riot who should initiate the draw sequence, then it might even be considered slightly rude to offer a draw.
Anyways, that's just my take on it.
Whether that's the case or not...
C'est la vie.

Certainly it's not the case. It's never rude to offer a draw in an even position, as long as you don't do it repeatedly.
We have a forced draw, and this is probably our best line. Whether he accepts it or not doesn't matter, it's forced (if we decide to play it). It would be a little like refusing to accept a checkmate.
