This is refreshing to hear and something that Bittymacod and his lot could do to learn. People like him were never able to separate RP, PVP and their RL feelings. This is what leads him to label those whom he doesn't agree with as "bullies". The fault doesn't lie with the PvPer or the RPer but with the ones who can't separate it from RL.
I find it amusing that you think that I have a "his lot", since I only speak for myself. I observe what I observe, however, and I can most certainly tell the difference between roleplay PvP and bullying. I don't like either of them particularly, but I *loathe* bullying.
I also find it amusing that you believe that I cannot separate RP, PvP from my IRL feelings. First, there can never be total separation because the person behind the keyboard is a single entity and unless that person has multi-personality disorder, all actions whether "IRL" or RP are stored in the same memory. Second, I don't believe you know me well enough to know whether I can separate RP and IRL. I can remember fighting in OP battles with you a few years ago and you never seemed to understand what I was saying when I was roleplaying while fighting.
Icus asked a question. It was a limited question and it was NOT, "how do you do roleplay" or "why do you do roleplay," it was "why was there the negative reaction to extremist roleplay on Aris and Leanon?" I answered that question with my observations as I interpreted them. Period.
Please be aware that this post was entirely OOC and with my IRL ~persona~. Please note that I have not said you are a bad person or anything like that. I just substantially disagree with you and I can do so without accusing you of being a "bad person."
