True confessions time. There have been a number of occasions when, in a 3 or 4 person public game where I am working a level or two, someone starts the pp and tp spamming message if no tp comes within a second of their arrival. I usually invite folks as soon as a break in the action permits. In HC, I always make sure I am clear of bad guys before I do admin tasks.

Only ever pulled this once in HC, about two years ago, when I was in a foul mood. Did it again in softcore last week.

The pp/tp spam fills the left half of my screen. I put vigor onto my Paladin and ran into the right half of Throne Room's outer areas, which had not been cleared prior to our lunching on the Bowl O' Grits Minions crowd. I got a bunch of witches and death lords to follow me. Off into a corner I went, on walk now, but Vigored with quick boots (30% faster run) blocking a few blows as I TP'd and went to town. Death Lord was Frenzied when I went up the TP. Invited the spammer and scampered down the WP with Vigor-run on. Took almost no time to get back into the fight.

Our impatient friend got a nice surprise before I was back in the Minion Munching business.

Yes, that was just plain mean. I normally just squelch idiots, but for some reason, my mean streak got the better of me.
