Well, it's nice to know it wasn't maximal douchery, though I still think it's really pretty shabby behavior, (and bad RP for you to be resting up moves there, but that's not really my business or complaint here). What I would do in that situation is fire off an emote like "emote raises his weapon to swing" and then bash after a second or two. But I realize most people are way more interested in PK stats than RP or stiff competition.

But you (and everyone else) is right, that even if it were the gravest example of unsporting play, there's no reason to get quite so upset about it. It did happen to be on a particularly frustrating day for me, but the bottom line is that I blew up and acted like a jackass in return. And that, more than anything, is why I'm still planning to take a hiatus. It'll probably be shorter than a year, but I've never been this kind of explosive crybaby in the past and I've definitely found CF increasingly frustrating recently. Whatever the underlying cause is, reacting like I did is completely unacceptable (to me), so until I get my s-hit together, I'm on a break.

Thanks for the civil replies everyone.
