Is punting small children out of the park socially acceptable.

Was chilling in the park, listening to Holy Diver, and some little shit cut me off. Was wondering if it is cleared by the newschoolers council to either punt this child to the the fourth realm, or crucify him on the wall ride.

Groom using features or no? Even if no not sure if there is a socially acceptable way to resolve.

semi related question.
was in blackcomb park lined up above a row of 3 features: left side hip, center tower tube, right side downflat. guy drops to my left with a filmer and heads straight for the hip. i give him a few secs and then drop towards the tower tube. right as i'm coming off the lip onto the tube i see him out of the corner of my eye pumping off the hip and back towards me (i'm assuming he wanted to roll onto the tube but i was already halfway through sliding it)
he was kinda pissed and said that i fucked up his line which is kind of true but i never heard him call his transfer. which IMO is pretty standard at most parks when they get crowded.
should i have been punted? what is the expectation when people are hitting cross feature?

if you let a little kid cut you off you're probably a punter yourself

i’m always a total cunt to little kids and gapers who don’t belong in the park, i do not endorse this behavior. But i will absolutely cut off or ski with excessive aggressiveness around people who can barely get up the rope.

One thing that always sucks is when the mtn dedicated a lot of resources to beginner intermediate. Northstar had a beginner park with 5-10 baby hybrid jumps, 2 small small tables, small hips or 1/4s and like 15+ baby boxes and rails. So when somebody comes throigh pinball or the straights and side jumps? You kind of hate them.
Also one year we got a bunch of snow and built a 13' pipe next to the 18. These parents with 2 kids went down at the slowest speed imaginable. It was impressive. Like a brand new beginner would struggle to go slower skiing the flats by the lift.
They were going maybe 1/10th of the way up the wall at best. So it wasn't any need for them to be in there. Blocking everyone trying ro ride. Not the kids fault but several minutes of very slow turns and many falls. It was tough to see.
