The UO member that the VTIL member attacked was actually an ex member of VTIL who had borrowed large sums of money from many different VTIL members and had left to join UO. When asked to repay his loans etc. we recieved extraordinary amounts of abuse, along with the reply 'no chance'. Hence VTIL decided that this ex member should die if ever seen in space. Im not entirally sure but I think the UO leadership was informed of this 'difficult' situation arising and was asked to keep out of it until it was resolved. Of course corp m8's are going to defend corp m8's, but by the same token corp thieves are going to be targets to their old corps.
If UO are not willing to stay out of an issue between a guy and his old corp thats a decision they must make. Obviously the RNF gate blockade is a sign that they wish to get involved in the messy business of dealing with corp thieves, and if this has subsequently angered DDC they have no one else to blame but themselves. This corp UO has another ex VTIL member within their ranks, and to this day he remains a friend to all VTIL members. This should point out to any doubters that it is not VTIL's policy to chase after ex corp m8's and hunt them down for the sheer hell of it. We feel that several loans in excess of 50 million EACH is a sum of money the directors are not prepared to see their members get swindled out of.
Corp thieves, and players who use their corps as safety nets from their own despicable actions, especially new corps unaware of their new members personality and history, has always been something unpallatable within Eve, at least in my experiances. Stealing, or simply borrowing isk and leaving and denying that you borrowed money, is an action that leaders within a corp have to think long and hard about, it effects the morale (and wallets) of members, and the decisions made internally on how to deal with such situations can have long reaching and unwelcome ramifications. This is why this particular member was hunted by his old corp, and is why we asked United Outworlders not to fire upon us if we were persuing him.
The resulting issue with DDC appears to me to simply be an unfortunate product of UO's reputation within DDC.
