I don't think many of the rulers on the FEI smack-talk OOC. Most of us are like 'yeah, my character can be a prick, sure hope he wins but wtvr.'
There are things I'd change about the FEI (like the geography - poor Dark Isle players...) but the lack of animosity between the players is one of the nicer things about it. Velax could be crashing dragons into Galiard's throne room without either of us worried that we're going to get a lot of bitching and moaning in OOC messages.
