I don't think that it can be boiled down to an answer, it is a feature that we have to with with. Â "If it is raining, don't complain about the rain, get an umbrella"Â
People = drama, that is just the basics. RP does not avoid this or create it, it simply give yet another context to have it.
Drama will happen, what really matters is what you do about it. If you give it any air time it will only grow (bad), the only answer is to push/focus on harmony and avoid those who can not put aside their differences or attitude. Create and grow the reasons to be together and many will accept that and let the drama diminish.
Now on the issue of IC, the player control the actions of the character. So there will always be some responsibility for how that is perceived, even if people let it bleed into OOC. You chose to play a character that pushes things, there are consequences.
On the flip of this I see people playing abrasive/challenging types and expecting either an easy ride, or not actually getting IC push back and ostracised.Â
However, some of my best RP friendships have been over playing IC characters that dislike and hate each other.
Absolutely we should understand that behind the character is a RL person, and all that comes with that. *hugs*
[edit] I have been involved in and probably caused drama. If any think they are drama free, they are probably in denial.
