This has been a most serious and interesting debate. As I understand it, the question at bottom seems to be where to draw the line with the spirit of the game.

There are valid points on both sides. On the one hand, some of our leading players argue for limited administrative authority over personal affairs, so long as game rules are not violated. On the other, there is an issue of higher level players attacking new players in order to coerce the admins into altering the game code and/or rules.

I suspect a new rule will be the result of all this; perhaps it will mandate the formation of an independent, anonymous group of AL 'justices' to render decisions in sticky cases like this. In either case, I don't think anyone is going to be altogether happy with the outcome.
