Consider yourself justified, UT is still a game. Games are made to be 
enjoyed. Obviously not this case.

So what if you got banned from one server, one whose rules you don't agree 
with. Are you even considering reconnecting ?

I usually play the same server, with the same people. That's why I joined a 
clan, getting involved makes it interesting. But the question is, will that 
server be there a year from now ? I've seen a lot of them come and go. A lot 
of the gonners, are the ones with no sportmanship, who wants to keep 
loosing/fragged ?

My two cents
