I only do that if they're being obnoxious and not resigning.
Do you like to torture your opponent?
Sort:
I flay them alive while waiting to deliver mate in 1.
That's sad just beat them and move on. People like you is why online chess gets a bad rep.
I personally feel that dishonors your opponent, especially if it's an important/tournament match.
Also, there's a counter: they can just leave the room and let their time run down till they lose. 
One out of every 25 people can be diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder.
Menuda gilipollez.
may your internet connection break 20 seconds before you deliver mate.
Say mate in 2. I am a feeble 1200 and playing 1900. I wait for 14 days to run dry then all of sudden - the moment he least expects it BAM!!! The obvious move.
Of course it doesn't work, as it triggers a conditional move to mate me. But it takes away the fun from him to mate me. I basically dictated the trigger.
It's a bit like premature ej....
Sometimes with my friends in chessclub, when the adversary no wants resign, we promote all pawns, to this we call: "House of pain" XD
people do that all the time

poor sportsmanship at its finest. and a waste of time
Sure. Especially if I am losing and I want him to resign.
I do not know why i would do that :)
That is a cruel thing.
It's a fair thing to do:
- there is no rule on this site against not resigning when clearly lost, so your opponent can and often will waste your time out of spite
- but there is also no rule against taking your time to find the best move, so you can at least waste some of his time right back at him
...unless he realizes he can resign to avoid this, of course.
No.
NO. An Elitist ideal is all very well, til it is not. And you have to be some sort of elitist to carry it off.
This thread is 1 step away from torturing animals, and we know what happens to those threads.
