Of course not, and that's what my point is about. It can't happen, unless of course, the admin you are dealing with is a biased teenager, because that's what such an action is normally called in normal communities that I've been - bias.
I don't understand what you're trying to point out. Skype is an instant messaging service, it's not a community.
If I say something really abrasive to a person working in a company next door to ours and I upset that person to the point he/she wants to beat the hell out of me I don't think I'm going to get out of it if I say "oh no sorry we're not in the same company you can't do that".
It's a point by point application of action and consequences, there is no magical barrier.
I don't think there's any room for comparing it to real life experiences like, at all.
It's very simple - you have the environments X and Y, with their respective rules, terms of usage, staff and so on, and they are completely irrelevant to each other.
You cannot enforce the rules of environment X into environment Y even with regards to X, it's invalid and doesn't even make sense. Now let's say you administrate both environments, and they share the same rules and relevance, now that's a different story, but they do not. In the case of skype-steam, it's totally invalid and it would in fact be considered an abuse if they practice such a thing.
I'll bring that back once again - you go on skype and insult a steam admin there. They can't ban you on steam for what you did on skype, but if they do, then that's unfortunate, because it would mean them breaking steam terms of usage, or admin rules or whatever tool in the form of norms they have there to regulate steam administration.
Or let's flip it around - let's say you have a mate on steam with whom you play CS, and that mate happens to be a MS employee who in fact works in Skype support. Let's assume you break steam's rules, or something, and you get banned. Your mate gets to know about it, and terminates your skype account based on steam rules. I don't suppose you'd find this logical, right?
I don't think I can make it more simple than that. My English isn't fluent enough anyway.
