To .wallop or not to .wallop?

Good afternoon virtual pilots. Of course when it comes to VATSIM realism is important. My question is would you .wallop a user who refuses/ignores your request for them to move gate when they spawn on top of you.

I had a situation this afternoon at Heathrow whilst it was uncontrolled where a user straight up ignored my polite request for them to disconnect and select another stand as I was in the middle of a turnaround. After 3 times of asking I got no response.

Whilst not a mega deal in the grand scheme of things it’s annoying and is a breach of the CoC. Is this enough for you to refer to a supervisor though?

I’ll hold off from saying what action I took so not to influence the debate.

Update: I took no action and just carried on with cockpit prep/boarding despite part of their nose cone being in my cockpit. They eventually returned and apologised stating they went AFK for food after connecting. Was polite enough about it and no harm done.

Thanks for the advice regarding .ignore though. That had totally slipped my mind as I’ve never used it.
