Complaining about the problem on a forum like this usually attracts trolls in the end, though; its best to just leave the MUD and find greener pastures. An administration that acts like that will eventually kill their own game.

An alternative is to FULLY log the incident (including what brought about the attack, because not doing so just smells fishy) and contact someone else in your game's administration (say, the owner). If they are not aware of the behavior, they may be interested to know that someone on their staff is running off players. Just remember to be cordial and not become worked up. Civility, believe it or not, still counts for something.

Of course, if they don't care, you're back to option one. Take it up the butt, or leave.
