I remember sitting in the Galadon necromancer guild once (yeah, I was a necromancer) and the guildmaster started hinting that he wanted this piece of equipment I had (I was like 20th level and knew he could kick my ass if he wanted). Faced with the decision of how to handle that, I doubt I would have taunted him. Fortunately, I talked my way out of the situation.
Replying to each sentence he wrote is a clear indication you might be taking what he said out of context, which you have.

There's that sense of humor, and what do people say about 'every joke has a granual of truth?' Perhaps ego was involved, like he said.

Very cleary he broke role. How was the young one threatening the citizens, or soldiers, or anything? Every city has smart ass children .. smartass and children being redundant. Enforcer shall slay them all, it's the incredible roleplay we all crave you know.
> I think you're confusing law with arbiter law with Law. All three are different. For example, Lawful characters aren't considered to have dropped their role by breaking arbiter law (I assume this is obvious to anyone that's every watched the Empire).
Reaching, reaching. The mortal was sticking his tongue out, there was no reason to run him through with your sword (referring to the Immortal behind the Enforcer).
Blah blah blah, but I love you Spheremaker.
