I'm not saying it doesn't happen but it's far more common for me to see people in both crowds to shrug their shoulders and make a big fuss about the existence of supposedly widespread 'elitism'.

Usually it's something spouted by the same handful of posters across multiple threads; no doubt providing an illusion of sorts as to it being much more common than it actually is. At the end of the day many people who end up clashing on this site due to differing opinions aren't likely to ever interact with each other in-game anyway. That's something well worth remembering, I feel.

There's also role-players who treat any form of standards or constructive criticism as the most horrific personal attack they've ever experienced in their lives. That alone is often justification for the 'obvious' disclaimers brought up as a point of discussion within this very thread.

I think really both parties are severely exaggerated in presence because they have a strong opinion, to say little of how much influence a visible poster can leverage. And yeah, I think the disclaimers about playing what you want are very clearly inspired by that sort of behavior. I've seen threads where the person with the query asks for honest opinions, gets honest opinions, and takes it personally. Taking the opinions and still doing your own thing isn't really wrong, but I've seen worse than that. Still, I don't believe the "coddling" is what actually drives new people away as the rp-starvation problem happens to many players of varying style and experience level.

I tend to be harder on the established side because they don't have anything to prove, and very little to lose in the matter. But both sides are prone to hyperbole.
