It boils down to that there are people that either can play as part of a group like an adult, or can’t. People that either don’t know that they’re being disruptive, or do so on purpose. I’ve no interest in playing with those folks anymore. There can certainly be frisson and distrust amongst characters, and with NPCs. But anything that actively disrupts the story, rather than contributing to it, is a problem.
At a con I was playing a cowardly LE rogue. The guy playing a paladin at the table and I had great fun needling each other (in-character). But it never slowed down or sidetracked the game.

It's funny. For all the wailing and gnashing of teeth about lawful stupid paladins, I've never had that problem. ChaoticInsaneNeutral who stab their ally in the back "just to see what happens"? Those are the people that have caused issues with my campaign. Even if you're talking haughty/stuck up characters, the worst ones I've encountered were not playing paladins.
