TL;DR - Skip to last sentence.
This is a tale of two CEOs, one with anger issues, the other with multiple-personality disorder from spending too much time in w-space with only his alts to talk to.
So I'm doing some high-sec exploration the other day in Caldari space. After a few hours of getting nothing but a few Dread Guristas Copper Tags (999,997 more and I'll be rich,) I scan down a Guristas Watch.
The first room is full of wrecks, so I head in to the second. There I see mostly wrecks + a Drake working on the (whatever building gives possible faction spawn and escalation.) Being the nice guy I am, I burn in and start applying my DPS as well. Building 'splodes, DG faction frigate appears nearby, I one-shot it, grab the goodies and warp out.
The guy who was running the site (CEO of his corp) convos me and sends me several very sort, FULLY CAPITALIZED sentences along the lines of wtf, u r a ****-bag, we will dec u, etc. He then tells me to have my CEO contact him.
At this point I am laughing so hard I might pee my pants. I wasn't sure what this guy was expecting considering
a) Why didn't he just show-info and contact my CEO himself?
b) Why would he expect me to tell on myself?
c) I am(was) the CEO of my corp.
So I say ok and leave the convo, then invite him to another convo. Before I can type "I hear you are having a problem with one of my corp members," he responds with "HAVE YOUR CEO CONTACT ME" and "GOODBYE" before leaving the convo.
I'm rather dumbfounded at this point, so I appoint my alt CEO. I contact the guy and tell him that Captain Muscles is my good friend's little brother and I will have a talk with him about playing nice and not embarrassing our corp. Five minutes later, we are all friends.
999,996 to go and I'll be rich.

I'm rather disappointed with the boring, peaceful resolution of the situation, so here are some morals of this story should you catch yourself on either side:
Victim -
If your rage has superceded your judgment, you've already lost.
Show Info. Knowledge is power.
The sole purpose of caps-lock is to alert people that you should not be taken seriously (I'm looking at you, Kanye West.)
Random Jerk -
If you want some excitement, don't let your sissy carebear alt handle diplomatic situations.
Both -
Make some real friends already, jeez. Alts don't count.
