Hi,

You can report any inappropriate behaviour by clicking on "signal to mods"(warning shield) on the related player's page.
The correct way to handle abusive players is to report them to the moderators and to block them. Blocking an user stops them from contacting you, and you won't be paired against them using the matchmaking system (you can still be paired against them in a tournament).

You can report them either by going to en.lichess.org/report, or by pressing the triangle in the top left corner of their user profile.

You can block an user by pressing the stop sign (maybe its more similar to the no entrance traffic sign) on their user profile.
Don't take it personal when players are rude... Most rude players are really nice people in real life, but simply extremely sore losers.

However, sometimes a little psychological warfare is a part of the game. Let's say I am in a hopeless position and my opponent still has an unreachable pawn on the board which he or she is about to turn into a queen. Sometimes I accuse my opponent of bad sportsmanship writing things like "hey, you still have a rook and a king, are you so bad at chess that you need another queen to beat me?"...

Most times, my opponents just ignore me and continue advancing their pawns, but sometimes I manage to make the other player so insecure that he or she gives up the safe plan in order to beat me "in a fair way", which often leads to blunders like stalemates.

I don't intend to be rude, but I really hate losing. ^^
That's hilarious polyglot, and if someone is dumb enough to let themselves be manipulated like that they deserve to have the win taken away :)
