But if you're in a realm that does not treat commoners that badly, then 
why should you suddenly change your role play to beat them up (and allow 
that) whenever you can?  If you rp them as looking at you funny, good 
arrest them.  They talk bad to you beat them up.  God forbid they say 
something treacherous, hang them.  But don't change your role play 
simply because they're being played by someone and you can arrest them 
and beat them up without reason.
