Gollum Killing Characters

Here is my stance on the whole killing-of-other-characters thing: If someone makes their character act in EXACTly a way in which the other character they are playing off of MUST act IN CHARACTER, which may mean reacting in such manner as killing, then so be it. Period. If one does not want their character to die, one doesn't need to put their character directly in the line of fire. There is no bad or good form here, IMO, it is a role-playing writing project. This is exactly what I was trying to explain last month, when the snoopy reporter wanted to crash the private home dinner at Orrodel, and there would have been NO WAY IN ANGMAR that Viv would have let such a character in the house, or if that character pushed his or her way in the house ANYway, there's nothing stopping the Nazgullian character Viv from acting within her OWN established character, and murdering and disposing of the snoopy, pushy reporter invading Orrodel. Do you guys see the logic in this? I'm SO not trying to cause feathers to ruffle, or whatever, and I wasn't last month, either. I'm JUST SAYIN'. There's a parallel to be drawn here, between the two scenarios, and this is my personal take on it.
