That's absolutely ridiculous .
I guess some people don't get the idea of roleplaying or in-character Messages. Surely Posts on this board have nothing to do with in-game diplomacy.

Another thing is sometimes players that carry grudges from one game to another. While it is perfectly understandable, they should really keep them to themselves and/or avoid them as much as possible (yeah, I know that can be hard...). But by no means can they use it as argument: "Hey, (Player A) killed me in game (X). Therefore my attack on him is a just cause."
Or even worse is 'crosstrading'. Something like: If you give me planet A in game X, I'll give you tech B in game Y...[/rant off]
