Upcoming Justice System and the question if bad folks may be bad at all

Hey folks!
With the justice system theft, murder and all the other shiny mad and bad things will be coming to ESO. But will we be allowed to behave that way? I'm honestly not seeing me as a kind and friendly thief that always talks polite to the watchers of the law and his fellow mates.
Or as a noble, gentle and polite orc mass murderer who never let's a bad word get over his lips.
According to the rules we're not allowed to insult or negatively encounter other players. But how should that work?
Imagine a thief stealing things out of baskets at the Daggerfall market. Being seen by a "cop" (other player) and noticing this trying to get away, yells at the guardsman things like "Try to get my, ***", "You're as ugly as your mothers buttocks" or "You'll never get me, fat basterd". Insulting things.
What do you think? As long as it is clear that there is no insulting the player behind the computer but the char chasing the purp, should smack talk, even hard and explicit talk be allowed?
I think it should. Imho I think the guidelines and rules of ZOS on that matter should be updated to get us some free space for in-character playing here with the implementation of the justice system.

If I've ever offended you,
just know that from the bottom of my heart,
I really don't give a ***.

✭✭✭✭✭1. You don't need to smack talk.
2. If you feel the need to smack talk, there are plenty of chat-appropriate ways to do so.
3. If you devote even a few brain cells to it, you can probably even be RP-appropriate with your smack talk, which will be even worse for the person who you beat.----

MercutioElessar✭✭✭✭✭@nerevarine1138 Chat-appropriate doesn't automatically mean char-approriate.
Please don't missunderstand, I don't want a free card for players insulting each other without reason or just because they are in the mood to. Kiidy-supporting isn't my thing at all.If I've ever offended you,

If you're being character appropriate, then you won't be using real-life insults, will you?
Calling someone a milk-drinker is already perfectly appropriate.----

✭What you are talking about is RPing.
IF the other guy is also a RP player , then yes , probably he wont even report you.
But this system wasnt made for only RP players , there will be tons of people that couldnt care less about RP and so on. If you offend one of them , then they can report you and it will probably work.
The game has general rules , being an RP player wont save you from breaking any of them , just like being any other kind of player wont either.Edited by Nox_Aeterna on October 18, 2014 7:22PM"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

✭✭✭✭If you're afraid of people taking it too seriously, this problem is easily solved by specifically addressing the character, not the player.
E.g. "you filthy Dunmer/Dragonknight/whatever!"
or by using the lore specific insults, e.g. "N'wah!" "Milk drinker!"Edited by DDuke on October 18, 2014 7:42PM1
