Well stated Redbaroness. The way you act in the game, in my opinion, is a reflection of how you act in real life. I have not been around for years like a few folks on here but I have come to the conclusion there are some folks I just wont share the skies with, and leave when they arrive, regardless of the team the are on. That may sound a bit snobbish, or childish, or whatever, but when they are reds they frustrate me to no end and when they are blue, well I completely empathize with the reds and feel for them. Staying in the game, again in my opinion, condones the behavior that makes the game less enjoyable for me.
This is an interesting thread and it seems the different opinions are well presented. I think it would be safe to say that each one of us plays using a slightly different, albeit similar, code of ethics and rules, keeping the game mostly interesting and fun... why else are we all here?
Just my .02
