AH. A good question Chris. The answer will probably seem nonsensical to
you. even i have to admit its a bit strange...

This breaks the ethos of the roleplayer.  If we ignored the bad things when
they happened we woudl end u pwith very uninteresting characters.  This is
the same reason why in DSO our SDKs, or whatever you want to call them,
whose idea of roleplayign ;'evil' was toi piss peopel off, would drop
carrier to avoid deat hwhoiel their victims woudl not.

Actions like this break the spirit of the game as they play it.

Did i make that make any sense?
