If this kind of thing goes on, what will occur is that players will have the clock called on them as soon as it is their action. Effectively there will be a one-minute time limit on all decisions.

Exactly. This is the kind of impact people seem to be blind to when defending this play. Imagine what fun it would be to have to call the clock instantly on everyone all the time, just in case. I'm sure the already beleaguered floor staff would enjoy it as well.

I know we're all trying to take one another's money but is it so impossible to be decent about it?

There - now THAT was a clearly-stated argument for your position, with which I am now persuaded to agree, whereas I (and perhaps others as well) were not particularly convinced by your previous argument of "*grumble* it's a prisoner's dilemma defection and I dont feel like explaining why - if you dont understand it then go let your sheep graze in the commons. I'm Paul Phillips, bitch!"

Paraphrasing, of course.
