The players who risk their characters assets, reputation and influence in order to stir conflict are doing us all a service. To volunteer as the bad guy is a gift that the player gives to his fellow players, as he enables them to be the "good guys" in the conflict and pat each other on the back, which generally feels nicer. So, thank you to all of you who have been working towards escalating the conflict in FE.
The game is most enjoyable when you can have friendly relations with the player who is the mortal enemy of your character. You can then build the story together and enjoy its nuances, have a laugh together and make a positive difference to the atmosphere of the game.
