Is it BM to say GG "for" your opponent, under any circumstances?

Example: You're playing ZvT, the game is clearly over but your Terran opponent is continuing to play anyway. You say GG. Was this BM?

I'm of the opinion that it's very BM. You should always allow your opponent to decide when he's ready to concede defeat. Saying GG for him is just like rubbing the defeat in his face for your own sick pleasure

Should have added an option of "Who cares"

I think the whole idea of "bad manner" is ridiculous, and getting mad because someone says GG before you do..I mean, seriously..grow up? :[

I totally agree with you. I refuse to say GG even if they have one last building left and I'm about to destroy it. If people take great pleasure in saying GG first and I do end up losing, I usually let them know that because of that I'm going to hide a bunch of buildings and go afk for awhile. True that's a jackass move on my part, but it's so sickening how rude many people are, I just can't help but hope it's a small step to fixing the problem.

EDIT: BTW it's not about caring about "GG" or getting angry, it's more about having good sportsmanship. It's one thing to say "GG" when the victory is clearly won, and leave it at that, but most people don't do that. They'll say GG long before the game is over, or if it is over, they'll add totally random and rude comments after until you leave. It's not that it's a big deal, it's just what entails a lot of the times is totally unnecessary on any level.

I posted something about this on WGTour forums. Most agreed that it is very bad manner. Too many WGTour members do it.
You learn from losing.

It's not BM at all, when, as you said, the game is clearly over, and your opponent is wasting your time. Especially if its a competitive game of some sort - you could be out and doing better things with yoru time than spending 10 minutes to break his mined out main with 10 tanks and 8 science vessels in it, using zerg when you have the entire map. When you can see that you're in the deepest, darkest ass and your opponent says GG for you, take it as a hint...

What is BM is not leaving after you quite obviously cease to stand a chance

I still disagree with you in that case, MPXMX.

The guy that did it to me was in op [cF] and he didn't just say gg, he said

gg : D

So I'm fairly confident he wasn't angry that I was "wasting his time" by not leaving.

It may be BM, but sometimes, I think I should be BM. Manner is seriously overrated when playing against newbs.

Starcraft is a nice medium to let loose the pressures of the day. I go off on people for no reason, maybe because they cant do shit back. But.. unfortunately.. now a days better just keep my hands off the keyboard..
