Would you consider this to be an insult?

And using the 15-30 example is a very poor example to compare. If someone took that long in a 15-30 game there is nothing to gain by stalling. In a tournament there is. That is the whole point. If short stacks didn't stall in a tourney they would be at a disadvantage to the short stacks that were stalling.

And i have played with people in 15-30 games where people have taken too much time. The floorman asks them to pick up the pace or they will have to leave. Eventually they will be asked to leave if it continues. Notice you can't ask the person in the tournament to leave because she is not doing anything she is not allowed to. I would bother me much in a live game because there is nothing to gain for the person. In the tourney i would see why they were doing it, nd understand the strategy. I might not like that thye are doing because it takes too long or messes up my window of stealing enough blinds near the bubble (notice that my strategy here is to steal blinds assuming we were near the bubble, and notice she has a strategy to hang on for as long as she can, why are they any different)? But again as long as the tourney directors allow you to do it its there fault not hers.
