I'm convinced stall players hate life and want to make other players just as miserable as they are

That's only Mienshao and Tornadus that can do that, which aren't generally used in stall. The typical regen mons for stall are Slowbro, Amoonguss, Tangrowth, sometimes Alomomola, and now Toxapex.

That's not stall, that's just Prankster.
Whimsicott is not really a defensive mon.

Also Stall is one of the reasons I think they should just put in an item clause, because those teams just slap Leftovers (or Black Sludge onto a Poison type) onto anything that isn't Chansey or Pory-2

It's fun to watch people get frustrated and slowly lose hope. Noting the reactions of other players is my favorite part of PvP in any game.

That said, very rarely do I go full stall. Only when I think it's my last hope at winning.

I'm against any kind of spam, even if it's stall, but stall sets are the result of sweeper only teams and the shitty speed-tier metagame. Maybe think about why people have resorted to such a playstyle.

Same here. Non-stall games end too fast and a miss or crit or hax can turn a win into a loss. Or even a person making a really bad move that ends up working for him.

Whenever I play stall it's really just super bulky offense without any hazards or protect bullshit, but I did have a team that used full hazards and whirlwind which was pretty fun. I mean if you let me get up stealth rocks + 2 toxic spikes or even sometimes 3 spikes, 2 toxic spikes, 1 stealth rock, then you deserve to lose to me spamming whirlwind.

The appeal of stall, and defensive playstyles in other games, is to grind things to a halt and acquire complete dominance over how a game is played. Successfully holding control makes the player playing defensively feel good, the same way a player might feel good about his sweeper wiping out the enemy team. Sucking away the life energy of the opponent may be a bonus.

But people who run 6 stall mons are insane.

This.
Imagine a game where you've set up things just so that the harder your opponent struggles, the worse the situation for them becomes.

They're so desperate to end it quick that it overrides their common sense.

Maybe it's because they have little patience.

Maybe it's because they didn't set aside enough time and need to finish the game quick before they have to go do something else.

Regardless of the reason, their desire to finish the game with due haste hinders their ability to think clearly. That is what the stall player seeks to exploit.

That and I'm guessing we're all control freaks.

Why exactly do Smogon not enforce the Pentagon/)whatever there is in its place in SM, I haven't actually bought a 3DS Pokemon game) rule? Why can't Game Freak take moves out of Pokemon's movepools, when they can remove items or Megastones like they did with Gems from Gen 5->Gen 6? Pentagon rule is how they do that, and it's universally enforced in all of their formats, but Smogon doesn't have it for some reason.
