Punishing someone for something that happened in a group without specific rules is so much better. Right?
IMNSHO, yes. Yes it is.
We, as a community, should stand up for ourselves, and our fellow players. We should not be subject to abuse from other players, especially in official or semi-official venues. Simply because a venue, which exists for the sole purpose of BattleMaster players to socialize with each other, doesn't have an official declaration that it follows the BattleMaster social contract, doesn't mean that people there are free to harass, abuse, haze, bully, etc. other players. When it is brought to our attention by one of our players is doing this to another of our players, we should address the situation. The fact that the behavior takes place on the other side of some imaginary line is irrelevant.
The rule is "don't harass other players" not "don't harass other players right in front of our faces".
