Intent of metagrudge ruling

New dumbest post
I see two ways to see “metagrudge bad” which should we care for on TG? I prefer A.
A. Simply as clarification
“Metagrudge bad” is to remind people that someone killing you last round/ before you ghost roled doesn’t mean you can kill them now. You’ll never get banned for metagrudge: only for your acts, and it doesn’t matter who you do them to.
Concern with A is that someone could fuck with someone repeatedly, but the person fucked with can do the same. The only reason A might not be perfect for /tg/ is ironically because of how lax tg is: on other servers, you can’t fuck with someone aimlessly anyways. On TG you can beat someone half to death and steal their id if you want it. Maybe instead of banning someone for beating someone half to death and stealing the id of the same guy twice, just ban them the first time
When it doesn’t work:
“Frank Moone keeps shoving me continuously every round, and I have to keep dealing with it personally.”
(Note this may also be an issue in B because you might get laughed at, or they might say “I don’t target X I target the bartender/ethereal/annoying guy and they always play bartender/etc” also, kinda an escalation issue since the guy is allowed to shove you but fighting back opens you up to being murdered)
B. Specifically doing x to someone repeatedly bad
“Metagrudge bad” means you’re ok doing something the first tine, but if you do it to the same guy again then it’s metagrudge. Or its ok to kill someone for tresspassing the first time, but if the admin learns that you killed them because last round they trespassed and broke everything, then it’s metagrudge. Even antags may be banned for metagrudge!
Concern A is the trespaas example, someone may just want to defend their self, home, family, honor, etc. besides, you can randomname if someone dicking with you is an issue.
Concern B is someone may be rewarded for fucking with people continuously - if someone smashes all the windows round after round then each round it may be easier, as less people are ALLOWED to retaliate massively.
When it doesn’t work:
“Is-A-Lizard is lining the halls with glass shards each round to fuck with no one specifically, but it affects me. If I kill him each time, I’ll be banned for metagrudge.”
I’ve had these thoughts for a while now so if this is related to any specific ban I forgot why I was writing this whole post in the first place
