The bottom line with this little incident is that newcomers have as much right to enjoy the game and learn about it as those with more experience do. Abusing their lack of experience to send them to the DR, in which you know they'll probably have a difficult time getting out, just because they are asking questions you consider annoying or don't quite know what they are doing is no reason, and no, it's not funny.
They have a bad name? Use the /petition command. GMs are always hunting for name policy breakers and quickly deal with them but in the interest of keeping the game fun for everyone. Not with the intention to punish or make fun of anybody.
There will always be someone with little or no regard to other players out there, someone who only plays the game to pwn or PK or simply to push other players' buttons. If their behavior is disrupting, file a petition but above all, keep in mind that by having no patience with others, not using the proper channels to deal with the problem, and taking the "fun path" you might become that kind of player/person yourself.
