Huh... I thought Dark Eldar were just a bunch of psychos, but who did everything - and I mean EVERYTHING - they could, to avoid having their souls consumed by Slaanesh.
As to the OP, there's a craftworld called Altansar which was rescued from the Eye of Terror by Maugan Ra (sp?) after spending millennia trapped within it. They're treated with outright hostility by other craftworlds, because the other Eldar figure that due to being in there so long, they MUST have been corrupted. But so far as I know - which isn't saying much, cause I read about it on Lexicanum - GW's left it open to interpretation whether they've been corrupted or not.

Chaos like a human chaos cultist? No. They do things differently when they have pointy ears and want to be evil.

This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

Originally (RT and 2nd edition) there were both chaos eldar and even chaos squats as well as the good(ish) kind. I think the chaos eldar got changed in to the dark eldar of today as the eldar pirates (corsairs) and exodites still exist in the fluff.

These days Eldar are hard to corrupt. It's one of the things that Eldar despise in humans, the ease at which Chaos can corrupt them, and also one of the reasons the Eldar attack human colonies (when they detect corruption and conclude that tampering with purer human mind/perception to react to the threat is insufficient).
If you really subscribe to the notion that Eldar are dead-set racially-centered and do nothing for any other race, then chaos corruption is always a threat to the craftworlds.

Yes, Rogue Trader had a Chaos Eldar mini, but since then this had been retconned. The only possible Chaos Eldar Arhra ("burning in the light of Chaos") returned uncorrupted in the Codex Dark Eldar. Still Chaos Eldar are the same kind of fetish among teens as Chaos Tau, Chaos Grey Knights, boob themed Sororitas, female Space marines and anything in PINK.
