Earlier, I was on NA_2. I went around to a backdoor on the map and was chop-chop-chopping it down with some other people. My friend Genric_Jr thinks it will be funny to kick me as I'm chopping the door down, and it knocks me into two TW's from Turmoil_Tom as he's chopping the door. I was a little annoyed because there was plenty of time between Tom's two swings to stop the second one, but he clearly doesn't care about tw'ing, so I give him a kick to let him know I do not approve of his stance on such matters.
He turns around, away from the door, and TK's me...
I have a transcript of the conversation that took place in chat:
TurmoilTom_KUTT[\TT]: you were in the way
Tomkay[Me]: uh no
TT: uh yes
Me: you turned around and killed me
Me: for the first two i got kicked into it
Me: then you turned around and killed me when i kicked you
TT: yeah
TT: you kicked me
Me: a (speechless)
Me: lol
Me: kicking is allowed tk'ing is not
Me: please don't break the rules tom
TT:
i'm just trying to win, if you get in the way of that i dispose of youMe:
Rules of the server are more important than winning tom
Me: kicking same team is allowed for conveying messages such as, "hey, don't tw me twice jerk"
TT: and making it harder for your team to win is against the rules too
TT: you're not completely innocent either
Me: lol kicking is allowed unless you're griefing, which i hardly consider 1 kick to be
TT: well we have different standards
Me: lol

Some people in chat started complaining saying I should just ss and send it to the forums, but I said if he apologized I wouldn't. He didn't, so here we are. So tell me, is a single team kick griefing? I'd never interacted with TurmoilTom before this. People told me KUTT's friends with all the admins on NA, is this true? I always thought CRPG seemed to have generally fair rulings on such matters.
The interaction took place around 12:45, July 4th, Central Time Zone.
