This is called victim-focus. This is a method of telling the person who got mugged it was his fault for being in a bad neighborhood.

The real issue is this: regardless of how you try to stay nice, or deal diplomatically with other people and guilds, you never know when a single person or an entire guild is going to go nutso and take things waaaaaay out of the realm of playing a game and turn on other people. It's happened to BBK before, and it happened/is happening again. I'm sure it will happen again in the future. Not because of anything BBK does or stands for, but simply because others enjoy causing grief.

Sometimes, players and guilds who grief other players and guilds grow out of it. Sometimes not. But the fact that it happens merely means each guildmember and guildmaster had better be watching out--there are a LOT of very troubled people out there who truly enjoy drama and causing others distress.
