Jesmine is my new hero btw

This. What you RP has consequences ingame/space and what you do ingame/space has RP consequences (both good and bad in both directions). If you're not willing to stand by your ideals (IC ideals) by fighting back or hiring someone to do it for you (obviously, ingame fighting, no meatspace door knocking), then your character obviously doesn't believe in their professed ideals and those you're flying with are probably better off without the dead-weight.

If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Ceteris paribus, it is sub-optimal to have fewer players in the RP corner of the sandbox.

That is all I have to add to this discussion.

Eh. It's not ITG syndrome, Lord knows. It's that this is how the game is played. If you don't like it, either find another angle or play something else.

And yes, all else being equal, we want more RPers rather than fewer. But this isn't equal: RPers must recognize that IC actions have IC consequences.

RP being consensual stops at the undock button.

I think the potential for in-space consequences for IC shenanigans are one of the things that makes Eve as fun to RP in as it is.

If you want to be treated as a nice guy in Eve, just as in real life, be one. It's not assured, of course, but if you decide to start marching around in allegiance to the Blood Raiders or the Rogue Drones or whatnot, expect people to do something about it.

Correct. I do hope some of the people deccing this guy take a brief OOC to let him know what's up for courtesy's sake as he seems to not quite get it, but yes, you make public statements supporting x,y,z you best expect people who hate x,y,z to shoot at you.
