Slow roll?

Ok so I have been getting some abuse from a decent player on here about a situation that happened a few weeks ago. He thought I slow rolled him and has given me a lot of abuse about .
So is this a slowroll.
I can not find the hand but i will explain it :
I am on the button with AA and a stack of around 18K. The small blind has around 6K as does the BB. The blinds are 150/300.
It is folded round to me I open for 700 the sb snap calls as he has been doing with Ace rag all night . The BB stacks. I wanting to the SB to call with his weak ace ( which he had done before) let the time bar run down about 3/4 to look weeker than I was. Of course I call the sb folds and I win the hand . Then this guy goes on for about half an hour how I slowrolled him and the SB was never calling.
So is this a slowroll?
And If he reads this please come on here and explain why he think it is.

    Defo not a slow roll IMHO. You used the timer bar to great effect to try and get the small blind into the pot. I would of done exactly the same. WP.

    Dont worry about someone still banging on about it....they should let it lie in a year or so :)

    I know it all sounds a bit petty but this guy is just such a sore loser to anyone who beats him and I'm sick of it.

    That is not a slowroll. It's only a slowroll when players are allin and you hold the absolute nuts. Your entitled to use all the timebar even with Aces.

    The idea that a real slowroll is even possible with a fifteen second timebar is ridiculous. Sometimes it takes me ten seconds to even realise it's my turn to act.

    There are lots of things to get hacked off about. A few seconds of waiting is not one of those things. Ignore the guy or even better, inform him of the soothing benefits of a nice glass of warm milk... or caffeine pills. Nice, calming caffeine pills.

     Nothing wrong at all.
     I wouldn't worry about this other player, he / she obviously dosen't understand the finer points of poker.

    3/4 of the time bar is about 12 seconds.  12 second slow roll..... I dont think so ;o)

    You can only slowroll when you're last to act, that doesn't apply here.

    Dont know why slowrolls tilt people so much. Especially on here. I dont even think twice now when someone does it. So you had to wait an extra 20 secods to see if you won the hand. Ive already moved onto the next hand by then.

    Thanks for all your replys. I kind of new I was right just wanted the guy to see this.I had a slim hope he would come on here and try and back up his theory about stack sizes and loads of other non relevent poker jargon but I guess not.

    wonder if anyone else suffers from slow broadband speed as sometimes I get timed out before I can act
    Most days its ok unless I play above 3 tables at once but at times I have less than 2 seconds to act before being timed out .
    Hopefully fibre optic will arrive and solve this but at the moment it is very frustrating
    current speed is approx 2.2

    Sorry to be a pedant, but it's unlikely he will have a weak ace when you have 2 of them!

    I missed this thread the first time round, but like everyone else has said, its not a slowroll cos someone else is in the pot

    Not a slowroll.  I also think using the timebar like this in spots like this make you look stronger, not weaker but that's personal opinion.

    There is another site/network I play on where the software slowrolls you at showdown every single time.  Seriously, the 'muck hand' timebar always comes up and if you've lost you don't see the hand until it's halfway around.  Only a second or so but it's so annoying not to see the hands automuck or autoshow.
