3. It's because they are asshole and want to be assholes...asshole them back! They take too long, well start baking muffins,
Please, do
not do that. Instead, blacklist them, resign and then report them at

Also, by the nature of real life, sometimes people appear to be assholes by slowplaying and not responding, when in reality they are dealing with some IRL situation. The kid needs help on the loo, or has spilled the milk. Some phone call is coming in, or the door bell rings. The boss or colleague is coming into the office and starts a comversation.
If in those situations you start to slowplay back, those players will learn that this is apparently a common way to deal with that situation. And they will apply it when they feel their opponent slowplays. So the bad behaviour is spreading from the abusers to those using it in "self defence", and that defence seems to get applies for ever decreasing "severity of infractions".
From many reports I read some are really about regular slowplayers, but a lot read like an escalation game where one player took "to long" in the other player's mind (maybe really to long for whatever reasons, or maybe not, that's hard to tell) and then they both start to slowplay, each one in retaliaton to the other's previous. What could have been a 2-3 minute loss to both players becomes as 15-20 min time waste :-(
