Can adding time be bad form?

I don't know... adding three hours to someone's clock who might not want to play another game looks excessive. And they might come back at any time and make another move, and now you lose if you're not watching the whole time, in which you can't start another game either.

Kudos to you anyone who finds delight in that.

On principle I never step away from the game even after I've clicked add time 720 times for my opponent. I will continue to sit there and calculate the entire time just in case they come back I have every contingency covered.
