There's still some meat on dem bones. Keep whipping!
Long story short, RP meta, to me, is as valid an attack as a war declaration or posturing structure bash; transients, tourists and general onlookers will judge your words, but the real value is in how you back them up.
I haven't experienced much of the oft mentioned 'TS-F hatred', though a lot of Sol's rp happens through the barrel of a star ship turret (with occasional barbs thrown at IGS). With the I-RED stuff, Gallente-gate (Fw-gate? Standings-gate?) will probably live in Sol's memory as long as she does. The main issue is she's unlikely to bring it up in conversation due to aforementioned - talk to comrades, shoot everything else - modus operandi.
Ael is pretty friendly to I-RED due to good encounters diplomatically, the fact its members looked past her Intaki heritage and prior Federation citizenship pretty easily, and the Patriot-Liberal differences place Practicals nicely in the 'competitor of my competitor is not to be trusted but can come around for tea' territory that feeds good rp. It is a shame I haven't had more chance to interact with all the various Caldari sub-factions (outside Dragonaurs because - immigrant citizen and racism don't mix well).
At the end of the day, IMO, if you're getting a strong positive or negative reactions, and your members aren't leaving in droves, you're doing something right. The only thing worse than being talked about, is not being talked about.
