Server Rules Contradiction

[chovynz]

I suppose this still raises the question : should civilians be allowed to attack other civilians if they are both between level 30 and 40? I would answer no, because that basically allows civilians to behave like terrorists/pirates and rob other civilians. So, I also argue that rule 6.8 should be changed to say ( I merely reworded them above to reflect the current rules, now I am proposing an actual rule change) :

This is a good point actually: One i didnt think of when i advocated civillian killing.
I had the non-pleasure of undocking in my level 5 starflier and looking around in
wonder, when someone unleashed a 3 missle volley on me. He was also in a starflier level 5.
I was astonished and attempted to rp with him, but he stayed silent. I undocked and started
to move out to start my trading when he killed me again. I tried to rp again and undocked
with slightly more agressive questioning and he killed me again. After that I lost my temper
and killed him in retaliation. He undocked and I waited in (what I would hope) was a nonthreatening
way. He fired at me again so I killed him. Then again. And again.

After a few more times of dying he stopped firing at me and other newbs around, so I stopped
attacking him. I notified him that he was on my KoS list, after I leave the system.

What do we do in this case?
I believe that we need to have a modus operandi to guide these situations, as you will encounter
this at some point. I don't think these are something that the admins need to sort out, as it's just
petty to SS and whine about "breaking the rules" when both of you have only just started. I'm still for
under 30 civs killing each other, but it must be done in an rp way.

Someone told me later I shouldn't have fired on him, but I felt it was justified and we have
never come across each other again. I did all the retailation and notification in RP.
