There is a nice 'how to deal with Alignment' article over on WotC.com:
If attempts to be true to alignment are seriously disrupting play, you as DM might have to resort to metagame solutions. Applying XP penalties, negative levels, or curses can go a long way toward keeping players from disrupting the game with unnecessary alignment-based arguments.
Yep, whenever I want a way to end in-character arguing, making it into OOC rage is my favorite tactic...

Awesome. Now there is official support to smack people with an xp penalty, a negative level or a debilitating curse if they happen to be argumentative. I guess maturity simply means 'exposed nipples' in WotC-speak.

I'm going to send retarded articles to WOTC as well and see if they'll print/post them.

Emoticons fail me on how bad this is.
Edit: I've found the words, and expressed my opinions.

I love the first reply.

I make a cut in the XP awarded, if a player is consistently playing in a disruptive sense, I.E. making the game less fun for everyone involved.

Negative levels and curses are out of whack though

I accused imposter weasel of acting like a 7 year old girl in a later post.
