Can people causing threats man up and actually fight?

Ok when you get someone level 50+ causing a threat on a town, talking smack and all the BS like that. But then you go up to them tell them to stop they say they could kill you and blah blah blah. You actually go to fight them since they killed an NPC you wanted to use(for me a lot of the time its the NPCs which let you enchant) and they just run away and what ends up happening is either they die, they combat log, or they somehow manage to log safely. But like if you’re gonna put a town under threat especially at levels close to max or max you should at least be able to own up to it and actually pvp instead of just running away -_- It really is just stupid(side note I don’t care if a low level is causing threats and they run because they actually a reason to since they are low level and can’t deal with someone higher level).

Reminds me of when someone caused a threat, and ran out of town as soon as I approached them. I managed to hit them, but they were out as soon as they died and I got a 66 crown fine.
