He's bringing the action to you at typically a disadvantage, why punish him? You should applaud him.

Also, 'run from fights you didn't start, always carry a teleport potion', that's common advice. It's the smart thing to do, but it's also conservative, and it's pretty standard these days.

If someone is trying to explore, gain levels, etc., they're not going to "applaud" you for interrupting their task and botching their progress, especially if you do it over and over. That kind of thing is called commendable persistence in raid situations, and "fucking annoying" any other time.

The bottom line is this: some players are going to agree with you and throw you a bone and give you a sportsmanlike pat on the back for going all shamanman on them and winning whilst other players are not. Part of CF is dealing with the fact that not everyone plays the game the way you do. You won't always reap what you sow, even when you're planting nice guy seeds.
