This is something I've encountered across every medium of RP I've seen, and unfortunately, the overused archetypes of 'I'm the coolest, and the strongest' and 'The Spotlight' don't seem to be going anywhere. While I by no means plan to dictate how a person rolls a character, or how to play them, I do expect common courtesy and a regard for choice/consequence ICly... but usually they boil down to an OOC spat in which you're wrong for X number of reasons and why this naked little man overcomes adversity and one shots this hulking monster in full armor....
The only real ways to deal with these situations are to have literal numerical superiority (Enough people either ICly or OOCly expressing that the situation is as such that there is sufficient security present to bar entry, or explain that the person is being disruptive and/or irrealistic if contesting it in such a manner that they begin to circumnavigate every attempt to secure the scene in progress which they insist on intruding on.) Open RP is some of the best I've found, it's where I get a lot of good contacts - but I also understand there are some scenarios that I won't be allowed entry to ICly for fear of actually getting dumped in a river by that hulking Roe with the eyepatch and imposing sword.
Unfortunately these same archetypes fit the same type of person that either troll or feel entitled to their own story at the expense of others. Which is shitty however you look at it. I've lost all the patience for it, unfortunately, over the years spent in the hobby encountering this type of person... I usually just put them on the ol' blacklist once they've identified themselves as disruptive OOCly for the sake of being disruptive or overly entitled to their own designs, without regard for the actions their choices would bring within reason. (I.E. Start a bar fight, by yourself with six bouncers in the room. Sorry. You're probably getting thrown the fuck out, and I don't care how strong you think your dude is unless you've got hell'a good dice rolls.)
But all of this is just me regurgitating what's already been said...
