There are bad characters who charade as (or perhaps genuinely think themselves) "good guys" and parade around bullying other people who don't align to what they claim is law, but I can't imagine that sort of hypocrisy, if the character is intentionally an antagonist, could be accidental, since the character is supposed to be a bad character. That's not bad RPing, that's just someone RPing a bad person. And if self-righteous hypocrites exist in real life, why can't they in RP? In my experience, they're amazingly fun to play.
What I meant to say is that there are "bad" RPers playing characters of each and every alignment. If any alignment has more bad RPers than any others, I honestly think it would be anything in the evil spectrum. That may not be true, but most bad RPers I seeing playing good guys tend to just make boring, one-dimensional hero characters, and I would rather deal with that than the evil "I walk in and stab you and set the tavern on fire because i r ebil mwahaha" characters that bad RPers make.
I never said it would apply to bad-aligned characters. Â I'm talking about D&D Paladins, Bladedancers, Clerics/Favored Souls, WoW Paladins, etc.
