This.
This is pretty much the source of RPer disagreements and drama. As soon as a RPer has evidence that another RPer has done something "bad" they don't even question it. I have seen this over and over and over again throughout my years of RPing. People will talk about it in a private channel they have with their friends or guild chat. They are free to gossip about any number of things that might actually be untrue if they had only dared to talk to the person for clarification. And it's so universal too! Who HASN'T gossiped to their friends or guild at some point?
It's the difference between:
Ember slams her hammer down on RPer A.
(In a private channel) RPer A: omg! I am fighting at the Grindstone and Ember is godmodding!
Or
Ember slams her hammer down on RPer A.
(In a whisper) RPer A: "Hey! I don't understand the way you worded your post. Can you please clarify?"
