That would be what you would get if you visit the URL:

Long URLs in SBE get spilt somewhere during the moderation process.

The "spiteful" process is not very pleasant for either party.
However the spiteful party might still be doing very well -
and be part of a thriving population despite their vindictiveness.

That would be relevant if there are adjacent neighbours
without comparable domestic problems ready to move
in on the niche.

That's not always the case, and where the species is not
under substantial pressure from close competitors,
traits like spite could evolve.

There are a couple of analogies here:

You might think that "impractical" sexual ornamentation would
also fail in competition with more practical alternatives -
yet it can sometimes get established - despite its drawbacks.

Also, a similar situation arises with segregation distorters.

These get suppressed by other genes - but exist in considerable
numbers nontheless - and sometimes manage to get expressed.

It doesn't model competition with other species -
....but it doesn't pretend to do that in the first
place.

If you want to use multiple-level-of-selection
models along similar lines, Price showed how
to do that - i.e. this:

``W.D. Hamilton (1996) failed to recall when Price first contacted him, 
  but says he Price had read Hamilton's 1964 papers on kin selection, and 
  with no training in population genetics or statistics devised the Price 
  equation, a covariance equation that generated the change in allele 
  frequency of a population. Although the first part of the equation had 
  been previously been derived by C.C. Li , its second component allowed 
  it to be applied to all levels of selection, meiotic drive, traditional 
  natural selection with an extension into inclusive fitness, and group 
  selection.''

A more sensible analogy would involve a company that had not lost all
its capital - but had merely made an investment in sabotage against a 
competitor.

An example would be a company's employees posing as dissatisfied
customers of their competitors - or the "anti-marketing" technique
known as "Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt".

Unfortunately, companies often exist in markets where the "effective
population size" is rather small - and so covert sabotage operations
can be effective - *if* they can be effectively performed anonymously.

Hamilton's inequalty is trying to model the conditions
under which genes are likely to spread in a population.

The quantity "r" /is/ what comes out of such models.

If you object to it being called "relatedness" then
I suppose that's OK - though you ought to be able to
understand why others don't object - since:
r(mother) ~= 0.5, r(brother) ~= 0.5, r(husband) ~= 0,
etc.

....and if you are arguing that competition between
species means that the model's "population" needs to
be expanded to include members of other species then
you need to look at Price's equation - which deals
with this case.
