I consider it very poor GMing to take action against a character because of
a dispute with a player. It's a non forgivable breech of conduct. Likewise when
it's one player using their character to go after another player's character
because of a real life issue.

Resolve your real life issues out of game.

I also consider rape to be a taboo subject I will not use nor will I tolerate
a game that uses it 'on screen'. It's just very bad form and very poor taste
as it can tread way too close some people's real world issues.
