opposing sides of mmorpgs throw shit at each other all day -- that shouldn't really surprise anyone, and the GMs need not expend the emotional energy trying to control it. It's what leads to GM burnout, and again, my recommendation is that the GMs wash their hands of getting involved in disputes like this -- it will free up their time for doing development or helping people in need or anything else, and it'll also allow them to be forced to deal with much less drama on a daily basis.
