The problem isn't stemming from roleplay. The problem is stemming from very very very bad roleplay.

There is IC (In-character: what your character does during roleplay) and OOC (out-of-character). When people don't realize that those two things are very separate, things get dramatic. Just because so and so shot your baby or whatever doesn't mean you need to go hack their computer and try to ruin their life, at the end of the day, they're just some kid playing on their computer trying to have fun.
