For the record, it is against site-wide rules to bring outside influences into the game.
If I rule it so, harboring a grudge against a player to the point of saying "I will not talk to you in any game you are in" would warrant a ban under these rules.
So, play the game at hand.
Yes, I am aware of how meta can shape the basis for someone's engagement with another player.
That said, play the game at hand.
That means this game.
Focus on it instead of engaging in pointless, distracting meta-discussion that's best left for a speakeasy thread or a PM after the game.
If any player's primary engagement in this game is to engage in topics only tertiary (or unrelated) to the game itself, I will issue a warning followed by a force-replace.
Play the game.
It's the single thing that you signed up for.
Just do it.
