Not if it is bringing the post off topic, but now that you have brought it back on topic, there is room for small talk.
As for your defense... You were in a house and have pked/stolen from people at that time. THen they couldn't fight back, but now that they are stronger they have a chance to get their revenge. Don't get defensive, because I am not going to argue the point.. We all do it..
As for people attacking you under level 5.. The only time I have seen people attack you is when you were at least level 40, and at your remort level.. You have no room to complain.
