I feel like this topic has become argument for the sake of argument. Whatever the intention of the topic was, it doesn't seem like anyone here has any intention of changing a pre-existing opinion.
At the end of the day, nobody has any control over anybody else, anyway. If someone's roleplaying a supposedly very intelligent toon and they want to sit there typing "HERP DERP BERDERGLEBERP" or whatever, they're paying the same subscription fee and have the right to enjoy their time in the game however they want. If another player's suspension of disbelief is threatened, and it truly bothers them to the point of not being able to overlook it, the blacklist exists for a reason.
I vote for closure of the topic so that it'll stop popping up on the "Latest Theads" sidebar and some other more constructive topics can get fair visibility.

This player has a sense of humor. If the content of the post suggests otherwise, please err on the side of amusement and friendship, because that's almost certainly the intent. We're all on the same team: Team Roleplayer! Have a smile, have a chuckle, and have a slice of pie. Isn't pie great?
