After having discussed the matter with Foxtrot, I've got the following to say:
1. Factually speaking, the echo channel is not the right medium to be sending in reports. Reports are to be either be reported on the forum, in-game through the /report command, or to an admin by the means of a personal message. Taking action when the latter option is selected is ultimately upon personal preference of the admin the rule-breaker is reported to.
2. The staff are the caretakers of the server, nothing more, nothing less. I absolutely see no reason for admins to give attitude to regular players, or in some way consider themselves any better than our regular players. In fact, the only 'advantage' the staff has over regular players is more responsibilities, so there's not much to be proud of.
Grow up, start respecting each other and don't battle fire with fire.
I'm not going to be as tolerant next time to either sides.
