But both sides of the fence aren't ultimately right or wrong.

I think maturity and having been around the game for a while is what allows players to see alternatives to killing PCs, while newer players/less creative players will player kill more readily.

When I was younger, I PK'd folks that I really regret having PK'd. Not because my characters were without IC reason, but looking back all those years from the perspective of someone who has aged, I realize there are alternate routes I could have taken that would have had basically the same end result without ending a character's life. Having said that, there are times when characters probably do need to be killed when an assassin is left with little alternatives, but even that is highly subjective and open to interpretation, for staff and players alike.
