Turdlick didn't do anything but show he's a moron. Packets don't get lost for 30 seconds only to be miraculously processed by the server later.

Not only do the retransmitted packets have to travel part of the way twice, but the sender will not realize the packet has been dropped until it either fails to receive acknowledgement of receipt in the expected order, or fails to receive acknowledgement for a long enough time that it assumes the packet has been dropped as opposed to merely delayed.
