I don't have to be "nice" to them, nor do I have to be a dick to them. I treat everyone neutrally until they show me how much respect they deserve to be given. This is done by measuring how much respect they give to me.
If they're going to stomp around and beat their chests proclaiming how much "RP'ers suck" then I'll make it a point to not deal with them. Maybe I'd help them if they were in a bind, but you wouldn't see me go out of my way to do something "nice" for them in the daft hope that, "If I act in a nice and submissive manner towards them then maybe they'll start to "like" RP'ers.""
