I think RP is essentially fun consensual pretend play between people who enjoy each other's presence.
OOC > IC. If someone isn't fun to rp with anymore because of OOC conflict, don't RP with them. No drama or fuss about it, just cut ties and move on. There are lots of rpers you will mesh with, and some you won't. And thats okay.Â
As far as the retconning thing that happens, if MajorPast Character & I don't get along, I don't change or retcon much beyond changing the names of the people. The rper who beat me in a game of dice just becomes NPCNameHere who beat me in a game of dice.
It's harder if you have a problem with a group or person that your core group of friends does not have a problem with, but extrication is always possible, esp. with some gentle ooc remarks ( ie. telling your friends: Please don't include me with Mr. X's plots, thank you) via tells. The key thing is to be polite about it, and not engage with furthering any drama.Â
