I'm going to agree with you that it's wrong to assume malice.  If a player is behaving maliciously it's indicative of a deep seated problem that needs to be hashed in order to reach an amicable solution.  Alternatively it might mean you need to just cut bait and run. In my group, we've established the premise of the game before character creation is even started.  So if we've already established there is no magic in the world, and Nick shows up with a magician, he might not be acting out of malice, but he's being inconsiderate of what the other players and the GM wanted to play.</blockquote>
