It is a conflict between the players, being played out by proxy within the game - kind of the definition of "passive aggressive".  That usually comes across as pretty personal, and doesn't end well.Be mature about it.  Discuss it out of game, and find a solution out of game as well.  It is okay for the DM to say, "that isn't going to work in this game" - that's part of the DM's job.</blockquote>
