I can't respond to your inner thoughts. That's the biggest issue, imo. A player can say all kinds of stuff, even mean and rude stuff (and yes, this happens)(a lot), and I. Can't. Do. Anything. Back. My characters aren't mind readers. As an example, I was rping one day and my rp partner said something. I responded. They then said, "lol, i didn't say that out loud." : |  Ok, so I'm just supposed to stand there looking dumb? No thanks. This is not fun. Can someone's inner thoughts being broadcast be funny? Of course! But are you there to roleplay with other people or to just entertain others with your funny commentary? As others have already mentioned, there are many ways to add in body language and expressions, patterns of speech, etc. through your /em text. Example: /em winced as he overhead someone mention a house fire. He rubbed nervously at the burn scars on his arm and seemed to shrink into his seat. There. That's all stuff that other people can actually see on their own and respond to. No inner thoughts about fear, pain, and memories needed.
