Or that they felt it didn't belong, and the thing about the opinion is that's fine, have it, but the statement of judging a character's intelligence based on how much they curse is silly -- strangely enough, and this is apparently one of those things that you want to beat into my head so I'll just refer you back to your comment on opinions.
You can have one, and someone's can differ, and they're allowed to say so.
Sure. You just didn't make it clear at all that you were addressing the general thread and not TheLastCandle with regards to the "it didn't belong" line. In fact, you quoted him, which really rather made it appear that it was directed at him. When he pointed out that, hey, he actually didn't do that at all, you didn't even correct him to say, "Hey that's not what I meant." Instead you said, "it's just a weird thing to do by default to characters who curse, that's all. You gotta do you in the end." Which, I mean, maybe I'm just crazy, but it still sounds like - in the context of the conversation that was going on - you were still claiming that he said it "doesn't belong." Except he didn't.
This is why I was confused. Thank you so much for clarifying on that.

If by "jumped on," you mean I'm pointing out that you accused someone of telling other people how to RP and said their RP "didn't belong," you're right! I am, in fact, pointing out that TheLastCandle never actually said what you accused him of saying, and wondering why you would even say he was. You've responding saying you didn't actually mean that (though you waited until I said something to actually provide that essential clarification), so hey thanks - that's solved.

That wasn't this, and I like Osric too much to pull that on days ending in y. Most of the time.

This goes back to people being judgmental shits. The human brain is wired to make snap judgments just like this, all the time, every day. It's how we're wired. Over time, we can recognize when we're making ridiculous judgments (kinda like when TheLastCandle said that he found his snap judgments a bit silly considering his own real life behavior), but the brain still kicks in and makes those snap judgments initially.
