if he's not at war with you i'd personally say this is griefing and needs dealing with.
Nothing more tho, and it doesnt mean the stealing is, only the stealing with intent to blow it up purely for no gain (hence the not at war part, if they want to blow up your ore they should declare war).
Agree.
He gained nothing, and blew the ore up only to annoy you.
Grief play.

The miner could have asked for a ransom. I know that's pushing it, but still.
Also, it's obvious that this was a bait. He wanted the miner to engage. The miner was smart and didn't. He didn't take his ore back. Let me say that again: He had a chance to take his ore back, but didn't. That was probably the right move at the time, but the option was there.
I.e. not grief play.

You can't judge this based on what might have happened, only on what actually happened.
In even very slightly different circumstances I wouldn't consider it griefing.
However, in this particular situation I still believe it is.

Is baiting miners griefplay?
No.
But blowing up a miner's ore isn't baiting, is it?
It is nothing more than a way to "hurt" the miner for not falling for your trap. It gains no reward. It is an act only indulged in to annoy the other player, with no other reward.
The difference is subtle, but it is important.

If you re-read my posts you will see that I am not saying that this surely wasn't griefing. All I am saying that it might not have been griefing on his part. You can't be sure. It all depends on how much that dude was convinced that this miner was running a macro.
It makes no difference to be honest, you aren't allowed to "grief" anyone, not even macro miners.
Petition, yes. Grief, no.
