I recently TO someone who had thier vacation setting on.
Upon his return I started getting messages from him calling myself pathetic, a coward etc.

No problem I said rules are rules and just added him to the ignore list.
Curiosity then got the better of me and I read his profile

"Back from Spain to find out dan182 and ramoh had called my time out despite vacation setting on and having i politley asked them to wait until my return date. What's the point of playing this game if you are not going to win on skill. This was made all the more annoying because, earlier on in each game, I had let both of them carry on playing despite their having no timebank."

2 things
a. No way did he ever politley ask me for extra time.
b. Not once did he ever have the option of timing me out.

In fact the only comm's from him was a message apologising because he was taking days between moves because of him being a piece down.

Question
Right or wrong of me to TO ? (Am sure you can find the game if you wish)

It's not a question of right or wrong. It is within the rules. It is YOUR choice. Personally I wait just as long as it shows in my avatar.😉

You already have the answer. Rules are rules. You acted within the rules. If you are being smeared by someone in their profile I wouldnt worry about that too much, thats a pretty lousy thing to do over a T/O, usually behavior like that does more to isolate people who write it than anything else.

Just feedback him as harrassing.

Even if he thinks he had asked there wouldn't be any obligation on your side to please him in this respect.

I would like to have automated time-outs as in tournaments making these things obsolete.

And there is a vote going about time-free vacations.

Personally I wouldn't time someone out if they had their vacation sign up and they had messaged me asking me to wait.
If someone just doesn't move and the skull appears I'll take it without thinking twice...unless they're an RHP buddy.
You were perfectly within your rights to TO so don't worry about it

"Enjoy you pathetic win" was one I particularly enjoyed.

Thats the thing, he did not message me and ask for time. If he had I might have given him a grace period.

Not worried about the BS in profile.

Oh really,
Strange how a search of your games reveal many a time out win.
