I'll bite. No, I don't think you can really slow roll someone online.
First off, the "classic slow roll" involves someone turning over their cards, thinking they have the winner. As they reach for the chips, the opponent turns over their cards to show the winner.
In every online room I've been in, you don't have an option of whether to turn your cards over if you've been called and are the winner. (In SOME rooms you can muck or show if you're the LOSER, but the winner is automatically shown by the house.)
The closest you can come (in my mind) to a slow roll online is to use all of your clock before calling if you have the nuts. Do I care if someone does that? Not really. Unlike some people online, I can wait 20-30 seconds to see what they do. That's not that much out of my day to let it worry me.

Online slow rolls do happen. I've seen players wait for over a minute exhausting their tournament time bank for a minute + before making a call with the absolute nuts. The worst part was after the show of the nuts was the player said something like, I bet you thought you had it.
Now that's just messed up!

i really hate when a player slowrolls because its an unethical thing to do just like showing your bluff. I cant really understand why a player need to do these kind of things just to take ¨advantage¨. these things will continue happening because some players have a complete lack of morality and will do anything thats legal no matter how unethical it is to tilt other players.

I absolutely hate slow play. Those people who stop for like 2 minutes in their main phase just piss me off. Then they declare attackers and spend even more time tapping and untapping their creatures deciding which ones to attack with.
My turns go like this:
Untap.
Draw.
Shuffle the cards in my hand a couple times and consider my options.
Combat.
Tap the creatures I wish to attack with.
Main phase 2, play a spell if I have one to play.
Pass turn.
If your turns don't look like above, you're doing it wrong. It annoys me to no end when my turn takes a minute or two, and my opponent takes 5 or more. If you slow roll it, and then time is called, I should get twice as many turns as you, since you insisted on wasting my time.
Non-sanctioned casual is a bit different, but 10-15 minute turns are still annoying.

It happens quite regularly online, usually from big headed players who think they're the best in the world at poker. When it happens to me I usually make sure I just do it right back to them if and when I get the chance to

but that doesn't bother me nearly as much as when im slowrolled by the software...on carbon...many times HU when you call a river bet your hand is shown first for some reason then there is a long pause before your opponents winning hand is shown
