The runner play is only wit neutral if he ends up using a runner to kill your runner (which he did happen to do). But your runner was left within reach of a newly spawned soldier. If it's a hex that he very well could have normally wanted to deploy a soldier to, which it was, then leaving your runner there is much akin to leaving the runner sitting adjacent to an existing enemy unit.

I don't think it's necessarily wrong to sacrifice a runner to do reconnaissance, but you could have also put a soldier on your side of the ravine to get some pretty good vision in a less sacrificial manner.

Now mind you, this is most definitely armchair quarterbacking. I watched using the browser-based replay thingie, which makes it a little easier to get a sense of each player's fog of war during a match, but still I was interpreting your actions with definite knowledge of the scrambler's location. My opinion could very well have been different if I was dealing with the foggy view you were.
