in fact most 22-player kd with avg size of 1000ac/250k NW right now (mostly all Top 50 NW kds) have no problem retaliating a fair retal hit, prolonging a hostile with a KD or waving into an hopen hostile "accidentally" because they never checked the "Snatch News"
And the problem with tags and respecting those tags is that often the offending kingdom has randomly hit outside of their hostile or decided to steal outside of their hostile. There is nothing wrong with that, but I personally will not respect your tag at that point. Razing into a war should be reserved for the most serious of offenses.

In my opinion, all a tag does is make you a target - it says hit me because I have a lower chance of hitting back which is aside from looking for war, I have not tagged my kingdom while in conflict.
