I decided to contact the Tauren druid who terrorized me and ask him what was going through his mind while he was murdering my priest. But this wasn't really all that easy. As I mentioned, I play on a PvP server (Sargeras), and Blizzard doesn't let you create characters on both teams. I couldn't just roll up a Horde toon and whisper the offending Tauren. I could buy another copy of the game, create a new account and do so, but that wasn't really cost effective. Luckily, I had a friend who hadn't yet made a character on Sargeras, and I asked if I could use his account. After promising that I wouldn't make him look like an "asshat," he let me roll up an Undead rogue (everyone else has one, why not me?) and see if Hellacow was online.
I won't bore you with the details of leveling up Dominian in Silverpine while waiting for the tool to log into the game. (Ironically enough, I put his name on my "friends list" so that I received a warning when he signed on.) I actually got up to level seven before I heard the fateful ding. Here follows my chat with Hellacow:
ME- Hi there

ME- You don't know me
HIM- Who R U?

HIM- Too many NE on this server, imo
HIM- You all need to die
HIM- Maybe, idk

HIM- Hell yeah.
HIM- Howd you get this character/ no cross-faction I thought
ME- Did you think about what fun it was for me?
ME- Friends account.
HIM- Fun for you?
ME- Have you ever been camped like that/
HIM- Happens all the time. Not so much now but bfore I was 60
ME- Did you like it?
HIM- No but now it's pay back
ME- Ah, you were enacting revenge on my character for perceived wrongs against you? This is the proverbial gauntlet we all must run through in order to have played the game successfully and reched 60?
HIM- ?
ME- Neer mind.
