That can well happen inside a guild too, Gidget. Miscommunication / lack of communication can be a bitch, especially if the conditions are stressful already. "I was just trying to do X", "but we thought you were doing Y so we reacted in this K way that ended up wiping everyone". GG and try again when everyone is clear-headed.
Back to the topic at hand:
Roleplay is part of the gameplay, so while it can't be used as an excuse to bully you, it can and it should nonetheless be used as a tool. Yes, people can roleplay against your character and call your character names because of your differences in beliefs. What they shouldn't do is focus exclusively on you or repeatedly harrass you in private. Call you a fool once, at a public gathering? Fairly ok.
I'd just add that topics like this are mostly with no use if they're not calling out names. People who don't obey the rules still know them, they just don't like them. Personally I would only make such a topic if I felt that csr reaction was not satisfactory.
