Gray area, need clarification

I thought thrusting out of weapons range for prolonged periods of time was considered "shield running" and was deemed illegal. Anyway...

In a situation like the one in this thread, the guy who's being cheated pretty much has to accept a loss (whether by fleeing or fighting to the death) with dignity and hope the "winners" aren't big jerks about it. It's true that, since the first ape learned to swing a femur, people who've survived a losing battle have sought ways to even the score. The Supreme Court of Discovery has decided time and time again that that's not allowed here. I think trying to find ways to justify getting your revenge (right or wrong) is a hopelessly uphill battle. Take the tick in the loss column for now and even the score tomorrow.
