Involved? I'm simply going off of what you reported.
Goodness. If you think the person in question was acting in violation of the rules then do report it. Though my retort was largely orientated towards pointing out the flaws in your reasoning, and conduct I might add with a huff, that the bounty rules need to be adjusted in order to protect those amongst us who're engaged in some manner of pontification or otherwise sacred acts of this and that.
I recall DSE once demanding protection during one of their "mining events", where persons who weren't invited... Namely pirates... Were requested to be removed.
I see no reason to adjust the bounty rules to extend any such protection.
Though I don't see what mercnet has to do with this thread? As you observed it's been down for several months.
But, really, if you have screens and names report them. The sooner the better.
