If the other player isn’t being a dick, then I can’t see for the life of me why anyone would object to someone playing out the game. It is funny to me how many times I have seen the same player on these forums who tell people who are asking for help to “get good” and at the same time get riled when people don’t quit.
Anyone that sticks around is almost certainly trying to learn.
I mean if you can’t enjoy just playing why are you playing at all, win or lose? I blame the rewards mentality where people are so focussed on getting their wins they have no conception of having fun.
As for dragging the game out deliberately, taking needless timeouts - that is dumb. I have one rule. I play the game normally start to finish. The only time I drag things out a bit, is if I get the show-boat guys. I don’t really care if someone beats me really. I just take the view if you are going to be rude to me, then I’ll be rude back. But even then, all I do is take my time to call my plays.
