Violence for someone walking in front of you is not acceptable. ESPECIALLY if no warning tell or IC actions were taken prior to it occurring. I don't care if it was a newbie, a long-term player, or even a DM playing that character. This is borderline griefing in my mind no matter who did it. If this is true it is very upsetting to me as this is *not* the way I want new players welcomed to the PW.
Poet, if you have logs of this encounter and/or screenshots, send them to KTA and myself.
If this situation is true, and judging from some of the comments I've seen so far, then it seems to me that an attitude of 'violence is an acceptable answer to anything' is becoming a perhaps too-often-used method of 'teaching' someone the ways of Thay. Granted it's an evil place, but be a good person and have a little OOC consideration for players that may be new or have perhaps made a simple mistake. And just because your PC may be evil does not mean it has to act like an asshole either. Some of the best evil characters (in my opinion) are those that are not brutes and use manipulation or any of 100 other 'evil' methods to teach someone a lesson rather than beating them down for something as trivial as walking in front of you. Of course if the other PC is just being a belligerent jerk or violence is the only way they will appear to learn their lesson...well...then your PC needs to do what it must.
I also think this is a good time to make sure that everyone reading this post review the CvC/PvP Guidelines because I don't want to start running into (more?) situations like Poet's example where they are not being followed.
