Interesting mix of views, which I think are mainly less relevant than the original point being made. Think we need to perhaps remember that views and opinions are generally subjective, as are prsonal experiences, whereas the original point being made was based on principle.
In principle, no one Homin has any free pass to dictate how anyther Homin chooses to 'play a game' and role play is, in my mind, just another poor excuse to disguise poor manners or lack of respect for others.
To display the point, if I chose role play as an excuse for attending the next meeting and sitting burbing, shouting and trolling the meeting how many would accept that it was merely role play?
Intimadation, bullying and threatening are not role play. They are unacceptable, overly agressive and frankly disrespectful styles of game play that I think we all have a responsibility to outlaw.
Unless of course, we don't mind the game we all love losing subs whilst 'People' vote with thier feet :)

Everone has an opinion, and of course are entitled to have one, but others are equally entitled to decide whether they choose to agree or disagree. Acting like a complete Muppet isn't likely going to change minds or win support :)
