The consequences of "/spit"

We were assembling for HMgT a couple of nights ago. Our tank (pali) had reached the summoning stone where he was immediately ganked by 5 of the other faction. Then their rogue "/spit" on him. The holy priest had arrived to late and was running as I rode up on my fire mage and blasted the one chasing him. Our frost mage arrived moments behind me and we swarmed up the hill, and focused fired their priest. The pali rezed and it was 4 on 4 for a few seconds until our shaman arrived and their priest rezed. For about 2 minutes the battle waxed back and forth until the 3 of them still alive ran into the instance leaving their frost mage and rogue dead on the ground. We camped the rogue for a few minutes. They tried surging out of the instance a couple of times and either someone died or they all fled back to safety. Once the rogue had been killed a few times we went in the instance.
Had the rogue not spat on our Pali we would not have camped him. In fact we may well have just blown through them and entered the instance, we were there for the heroic not for world PvP. Once the rogue indulged in "/spit" it was an immediate battle until one side or the other was vanquished. Do you think that was what the rogue wanted? To instigate an all out battle?
So now to the point of the post. The pali was basically beaten 5 on 1. No honor in that, nor some demonstration of PvP competence. So why the "/spit"? All it did was insure that if we could beat them, we would interfere with their instance run for long enough to be annoying. Had the pali been camping the rogue, before his friends arrived I could understand it.
I've thought about this and have never "/spit" on anyone. I have /danced on the corpse of someone who'd been camping me and /mourned them. In close well fought 1vs1 battles I've /saluted the dead for a good fight. I guess I don't get it.

or you are down to about 1/4 health from fighting someone else and they attack then and kill you then act like they have done something (rogues seem to be especially good at that)

They do it for this, right here; they want to make you mad. Make a physical and mental win. Simply put, they're doing it to be rude.

new achievement in LK, /hug someone before they are able to release their spirit. Hope you like hugs better than spits!
Edit: this isn't a joke, it's listed somewhere in the pvp achievements.

They are just doing it to make you mad. Since they can't type "lololololol pwned n00b" they do that instead. I just have a /slap /shoo macro for that, those kind of people are the ones that would get really *!@#ed off at someone spamming that at them.
You basically have 2 options
1- ignore it
2- come up with your own emotes to make them mad, taste of their own medicine

I use to to feel the same way about being dishonorably ganked..even posted as such..but then I began to realize that this is a PvP server..and the role playing part of it is ganking. These gankers are taking the role to heart and nailing anyone from the other faction.There really is no other reason for Blizzard to have created such a server. Unfortunately this draws the kind of people the other servers are glad to get rid of..the kind that torment you beyond reason. You either have to toughen up or roll on a regular server.
I have accepted it as a form of hazing and fight back relentlessly. When the opportunity comes up I pawn any opposite faction I can find. Let them consider it a right of passage.
P.S. But I never torment..I gank & go...there needs to be some etiquette.

When I was leveling my shaman there was a pair of rogues who kept ganking me outside Booty Bay. Every time I would engage a mob they would wait till I was about to kill the mob and stun me till the mob killed me. Decided to go into town and repair, get some supplies, etc etc.. As I'm leaving the inn I see them outside near the AH, I /spit /slap both of them and to my surprise they actually attacked me! The guards of course took them out before they do much, but I couldn't hlp but laugh. Every time they rezzed I would /spit /lol both of them. They both continued to attack me even though they were getting beaten down by the guards. This happened for at least 10-15 minutes. Then this Alliance toon came and challenged me to a duel. Not knowing it was one of them I accepted and beat him. Unfortunetly this left me at about 10%. As soon as I sat to drink and eat the other rogue popped out and got me. They both proceeded to /lol at me. While they did pull a good trick on me, I can't help but think I get the better end of the deal outta this.

If you make an emote yourself, the other side sees this as:" makes a gesture you don't understand."It's actually "<name> makes strange gestures."
