I agree with Buzz 100% (which is nothing unusual).
In situations like this you have two choices: deal with it as an out of character player to player (or player to GM) problem, or deal with it in character.
In just about every game I've played a character who disagrees with something that an NPC or other PC does, and usually I just let it go. When it comes down to someone saying "I'm just playing my character!" to excuse something truly horrible that they want to do, I'll usually say, "okay, then I'll just play mine too, and we'll see where this goes." Usually no one likes the results of that, so why not just discuss it out of character and come to a solution that everyone can live with?
That and have no one be a jerk in the game...
