There will inevitably be a conflict between the lawful good and chaotic neutral members of a group.  This is unavoidable and is desirable, I think.  It is cool to give your character some principles and make him/her stand up for them.However, some people will always behave a certain way regardless of their alignment.  Some people will defend the innocent with their chaotic neutral rogue because they are morally opposed to acting any other way.  Some people, however, will rape and kill wantonly with their chaotic good character.For me, there are certain lines that I don't like to see crossed.  I am personally opposed to sex and sexual violence in a game.  Maybe this is because I'm married and don't need to roleplay my sexual fantasies, maybe it's because these things cross a kind of decency line or take me into a space in other players' minds that I am not interested in.  Regardless, no character of mine, no matter their alignment, will sit by and watch an NPC be raped or sexually assaulted.  I'll happily address these issues with the players, but if they insist on going there, I will insist on kicking their asses in-game.</blockquote>
