And that's my problem with the original thread. The person's setting themselves up as a victim of... completely normal (even relatively polite in the grander scheme of how responses can go) behavior.
And referring to it as "such selflessness" as if she's doing everyone else a favor by engaging in roleplay? If she's not doing it for her own enjoyment, why is she doing it at all? Does she expect all other players and characters to give her the royal treatment just because it's "the central hub of a roleplay server"?
Nothing she did was wrong, per se, but the ultimate attitude she has about all of the situation is unforgiving and unfriendly. If she wasn't trying so hard to be "selfless" she might have focused instead on the interactions she did enjoy, perhaps even been in awe of the fact that no one spammed dragoon spins on her head in a location that is only an RP hub by mutual consent rather than rule enforcement. Maybe she wouldn't have focused on the little things like being called crazy IC, which I have done and had done to me a LOT, and never questioned it as a perfectly viable and even appropriate response.
I feel like this needs a Fry meme with something like "not sure if actually feeling entitled or being facetiously critical of other people's senses of entitlement."
