Okay, so can I take this as tacit approval to discuss the specifics of a sanction without getting banned or CTE'd? Because this discussion is going to be awfully one sided otherwise.

I'm really not sure why the IMG needed to do anything in this case - the other party was actively shooting them, denoting hostility. If a 'random Freelancer' had been doing the same thing, yes, I would expect them to be able to retaliate to protect their own interests. That's roleplay, that's how consequences work. It's disappointing that instead a vague interpretation of IDs was allowed to be used as a sword and shield to shut that down.

Expecting one side to sit meek and silent without retaliating when they're being attacked is insane. 'Hostility' on a macro level was initiated by the other side. That should be all that's necessary to engage that clause. Furthermore, on a general level not factoring in the wider implications, i.e. indies, just because an incident hasn't happened yet shows a worrying lack of foresight.

Issues should be looked at in their entirety, not based on individual encounters. You guys set precedent with sanctions, remember that.
