Time for my two gil, I suppose... Drama is horrid. It really is. But I believe it has been said earlier that people are the cause of this, people with sensitive feelings, people with a lacking grasp on the IC/OOC line, people who are... frankly, little gits. It happens everywhere, and it is very immature, and I've had to leave guilds and even kill off a character because of it. It happens. And it's not fun.
That said, it is not the norm. More often than not, you encounter the nice, level-headed sort, who may be sucked into the drama, as I've seen with some good friends in past games, but will rarely cause anything (I like to think of myself as part of that number). It's that little five or ten percent that ends up causing these blowouts.
To more directly address the latter question... I would have to momentarily abandon my eloquence in favor of a big ol' "Fuck them." Hurrah for Blacklists! But seriously, if everything reasonable's been done and there's still a problem, just get away from them and move past it, they aren't worth the stress or effort.
Take this with a grain of salt, of course, I'm not one of these people who have been at it for decades. >_>
