you be upset?

The blue player has a special status allowing him to be TK'd without penalty. He also is visibly marked for his teammates to know that he can be TK'd without penalty, and also for them to be alerted that he is a threat. If the "intent of the programming" wasn't to put that choice in the hands of the teammates, it wouldn't be programmed that way. Unless you believe that lines of code can have ontological "intent". And that they are somehow being misunderstood by those awful end users who just don't get it.
The_Chieftain: If I hadn't done anything to anyone that match? Yes, yes I
would. And I would be equally upset were I another green player and
I saw an ally remove a blue from my team if he hadn't done anything
to us.

The_Chieftain: Code has no intent. But the coders do. Think about
this for a second. For what possible reason would the developers
have coded a system which encourages a team to be short handed? If
you postulate that the developers believe that anyone who starts a
game blue should be shot on sight, then you are postulating that
they believe that it is fair in the fourteen other people on that
team to be forced to fight a game short handed because of the
actions of someone they never meant. And it's not as
if the developers couldn't come up with a system which prevents a
player from being part of a team. They did. It's the mechanism for
auto bans which takes effect when someone TKs too much. Put
frankly, you're letting your sense of vigilante justice get the
better of you.
