Why not? It isn't helpful to not play hands because some horrible donk (how he got so many chips in with TPNK is beyond me) is trying to convince himself to make a hero laydown after putting in 90% of the other guys stack (who somehow out donked the first donk with his genius plan of bluffing while laying his opponent 5-1 odds). That moron was directly affecting the other players at the table with his insane thought process, and Tiffany did them all a favour by calling the clock on his sorry ass. Especially since it wasn't even for all of his chips (he already crippled himself before the clock was called). I would have a problem with it if it was an actual decision that the dude had to make, but when he raised the first time, he committed himself, so just call he stupid bet.
So, for me, bravo for calling the clock on this idiot. It shouldn't be up to the people in the hand to call clock as they are all (and somewhat rightfully so) petrified of it giving off a tell. And when someone is faced with an obvious decision (even if he had AK or something he still has to call) and takes for ****ing ever, call the damn clock on them.
Finally, the entire clock system is terrible. Get proper timing mechanisms in place (1 minute per decision with a 10-20 minute a day time bank) and this problem goes away. But these stupid idiots who play way too slow need to be put in there place, they arn't just affecting people in the hand, but are affecting negatively on everyone else sitting at the table.
