Here's two rules you may want to consider for the future:

9. You may not harass others.
12. You may not abuse other players or Project 1999 Staff.

Harassment ... is commonly understood as behavior that demeans, humiliates or embarrasses a person, and it is characteristically identified by its unlikelihood in terms of social and moral reasonableness... When these behaviors become repetitive, it is defined as bullying. The continuity or repetitiveness and the aspect of distressing, alarming or threatening may distinguish it from insult.

Did I report you or any of the other trolls for this? No, because it's petty and I'm not going to waste staff's time when a simple "fuck off" will do. My message to you was received and you did exactly that, fucked off.

Than, by definition, it wasn't tantamount to harassment. Similarly, if someone is offended or feels insulted, that does not automatically mean the words directed at them were abusive. However, telling someone to fuck off is abusive which you not only did in tells but in /ooc.
