I explained the relevant issue in the fourth paragraph, let me say more about this: I understand your annoyance Jack (although that signature doesn't really help explain the issue for you), as it was used first time by us. I suspect we'd be having drama anyway though, if Vipex wrote in the OP that message is available and reachable -only- by the pilot in question. We'll make sure, that if in future we mean to contact specific pilot and that pilot only, it will be clearly stated in the first post. That's what I can promise you in that case.
As for that minor point about "no previous RP", I don't think it's justified to treat it as such, because it's our system. Previous interactions were taken under consideration when form of answer was planned, I can assure you they do count in that case. Even if there's (yet) no law posted somewhere, that's the roleplay, we sent official message to the pilot in question. Nothing against him personally, I don't even know this guy (although as you said Vipex on skype it's former disco player returning, and I heard he's a cool guy). Previous interactions and IMG's "treachery" to our good will caused this time answer to intrusion into what we consider our turf is harsher than it normally would be. That's roleplay.
Does it explain our point of view to you Jack? I will do whatever I can to help you understand it's nothing about oorp hate but about inRP actions.
