Of the 5 definitions for "abuse" in Merriam Webster, I think you will find the first to be most relevant: "a corrupt practice or custom", perhaps the second is relevant: "improper or excessive use or treatment". There, now we have an unbiased "understanding" of the word abuse. Server administrators may abuse players, but that's never up to the players to decide what is abusive, and what isn't. Only the people who own the server are ultimately responsible for it get to make that choice. A server is functionally private property. As a player you are a guest, on private property. You have no rights. A server operator may do anything to you as a guest there, within reason. I don't think you could possibly argue that being kicked or banned is not reasonable. Just because you don't agree with an action, does not make it "abuse". -- Hexis www.hxxl.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
