He also sent me a dozen messages calling me all kinds of names, my mother and family names, etc. I told him if he apologized I wouldn't hit him anymore. Well, he continued on. So, I hit him more.

Just because we're on an alliance server doesn't mean I need to respect or live within the guidelines of any particular alliance's policies. He's got no more power than I do to control my actions. Had he been a gentlemen and less whiny competitor, I wouldn't have launched round 2 on him. He threatened that his alliance would wipe me up and hunt my restarts down. I respect that, as I am playing against him (and now his alliance).

Nonetheless, don't berate me for my game play when you're the one with the 'protection' and freedom to make boneheaded decisions too.

Cheers
