Based on watching you in global chat, I think that that first sentence is true, as there is certainly no physical evidence that you were/are at the center of a plan to raze EF and TLR from the game. In fact, I've seen you say some very kind, encouraging, and magnanimous things about EF.
That being said, even if, behind what is seen in these public places (the forum, global chat) you were in fact scheming heavily and at the heart of power plays to neutralize your rivals and enemies, that wouldn't make you a "bad person" or "bad player." In fact, it may make you the opposite -- a very cunning player who would know how to work the game.
The fact is, if we are universally liked or admired in this game, we're probably not playing it to the fullest. Illyriad is a game of friends and social networking, yes, but it is also a game of conquest, politics, rivalry, and power playing. Think about in the other Aesir/TLR-related threads some of the fierce comments that Kumo made about past foes from past wars -- how reassuring to know that that measure of tension still exists!
My feeling is that we should play this game hard and complex. We should be complex characters, with various layers and levels to our personas. If this describes you, Rill, or anyone else here, then I say "bravo!"

Is the war over Æsir? Surely not?
