/Absolutely no verbal attacks, insults or harrassment of other players.
Note that during roleplays, //characters can be played as aggressive, as 
long as it is *clear and obvious* that the opposite character is the 
target, not the player behind him./

That's the only thing I see about it and from what I gathered it's the 
character and not the player that's being rude.  But again I don't know 
what the person is saying either.  When I've seen this sort of thing the 
person makes one comment is told by 20 people how much of a piece of 
shit they are and how they only cause trouble and it's like a snowball 
from there.  Can you really blame the person for being rude following 
that?  But I have no clue what Amazonia was specifically talking about 
because I didn't see it.  Just talking about my experiences in game.
