If allowed to send a message back in time any mistakes made by such a person could be fixed presumably. It would seem to me that you would have to detect that someone is playing with time, find out who that is and then capture them before they learn that you know and send a message back to kill you.

Well, not if you make a mistake that leads to you being unable to send a message back. That's part of the plot of a sci-fi story I read: there's a machine that does this, and the messages stop at a specific point in the future. (It's 'the Arrows of time' by Greg Egan. The Orthogonal trilogy is good stuff.)
