I don't fully understand some of these arguments. I mean, if you're participating in RP and you're utilizing an active RP channel, then really it should be expected that anything you portray in that channel is meant to elicit an RP response.
Yeah, your toon might be "thinking" something, but if you openly display that in the RP channel (around) then your toon is doing *something* that tips their intention to the crowd, or portions of it. If the statement was not meant to do that, then, as said by others, it does not belong in the RP channel. Otherwise, you're simply just trying to break RP.
Expressing information that is "suggested" but necessary to make a point and/or move along an RP path is important to good RP. Particularly when you're in an unfamiliar group. But trying to take advantage of the situation and then railing against the reactions is just detrimental.
And besides, when it comes down to it, are you really so sure those big blue Zorai *really* can't read minds? Sometimes I wonder...
