A player who plays a CN character that does things like burn down inns because they refuse to serve him and screw over his friends because they don't do what he wants isn't really playing the alignment right.
In the first instance, that PC would be CE (destroying someone's way of life and possibly killing other people on a capricious whim is rather evil). The second example would be Chaotic Bastard.
CN need not be immoral pricks who constantly try to screw over the party. Even CN people value friends, and since the CN is less likely to give their dedication to anything or anyone.. those people in his party that actually have managed to win the CN PC's trust would probably have a friend that would be willing to do anything to help them.
CN is the Free Spirit, someone who is not good.. but not evil either. Most wouldn't go out of their way to hurt someone, or help someone they didn't know either. Since the character is an adventurer, I actually see this kind of character being the least problematic in a party.
After all, who cares if the person that hired them is a shady wizard with possible infernal ties? There is adventure, riches, and fame to be had! Let the moral dilemnas be sorted out by the Paladin and the Cleric.. no matter what, there is still going to be the same outcome that leads to something other than a dull night at the tavern.
