Ajax, without all the phecicious gramatical criticisms, the AL community is fairly small, most players truly want (and need) every active player to remain in the game regardless if they are friend or enemy, attacking a player online is detremental to that players continual playing of the game, therefore you get questions and a certain amount of protectiveness.
There/their are no rules against attacking someone online, however it probably goes without saying, there/their are more than one player/s watching your actions, thus the questions.
