Thank you, Rikutatis, your view of things on Arispotle is very enlightening. Others have hinted at the same problems. And also we "Leanoner" have experienced similar occurences happening on our server as well.
As for Psykro's story I do not really understand: was this player of a Kami-disciple from former Aniro, Arispotle or Leanon? Well, it is true that we did not have many players on Leanon right before the server-merge who would not resurrect someone just because of factions. On the other hand I have sometimes also experienced players from Aniro who did not mind faction nor race :)
As we are discussing the topic "IC-OOC-mixing" and directed at Icus again who has started this thread:
Since the server-merge I have more than once experienced that some players can not easily cope with the fact that other players had (and still have) different roleplay-speaking-customs, and that some players do not really want to take into consideration that events developed differently on the former three servers/shards.
Yes, some consider "extremist"-talk as irritating and will avoid extremistic homins. Even if they are from the same race and faction. But please understand that this is completey logical in roleplay seen from the viewpoint of these characters and their players.
Is it really so strange not wanting to spend time with or even confront irritating people, but to rather chose to avoid them - so not having to experiencing fruitless conflicts these irritating ones might start - or even getting pulled into their problems and having to fight? It can seem very unlogical to shower each other with insults and afterwards just part ways or even fight alongside as if nothing has ever happened. Especially when considering the personal storylines and IC-ingame-experiences of most characters...
I understand that extremists-players want to be accepted by other players. But they themselves will also have to accept the logical IC-reactions of the characters of those players in roleplaying.
If the extremist's characters feel outcast because too many other characters avoid or criizise them, then they might have to learn from that and change their attitude a little so they will seem more "acceptable". If characters rather chose to push away too many other characters they might find themselves being ignored as this is still one of the possible logical results of how characters can react towards them.
As players you can still be well liked OOC by the other players of these characters though :)
