My jaw dropped at how awesome your response was. Several of your points are topics that I've quit MMOs over.
I can't say thank you enough.
However, some of the points you raised I think deserve its own topic. One of the issues I've had when raising them in the past among friends or in-game OOC discussions, is that like you said it almost always causes rage.
I fault game designers for some of the points you raised. Do to lack of proper funding, resources, or because they don't want to offend, they do not provide proper background framework for either the various species/races, the various factional differences, or political dispositions. Almost all developers assume nationalism is the norm regardless of the period of the setting.

I concur with both posts completely.
The issue here with all the examples was letting down my guard because I made the assumption that "Hey this person I role played with is not so bad, surely their guild must be the same", or I simply stopped following my rules just to get out there more.
I admit, I'm a very social person. I will walk up to you randomly and strike up a role play. Rarely do you see me in the Quicksand alone.
