You think expressing an opinion that it is rude to make certain assumptions about others is a personal attack, and yet you pull out snide, passive aggressive comments like this one that do nothing but belittle the opinions of those who don't agree with you? That is, it suffices to say, rude.
I find the idea that anyone should feel as though they need to censor their MMO history for fear of being excluded from the "RP club" absolutely ridiculous. You made some excellent suggestions to those shy regarding initiating roleplay, but those suggestions are rather tempered by the aggressively exclusive stance you've taken towards your fellow roleplayers. That's not to say they're bad suggestions, but it certainly lends a rather discouraging tone to your post. And quite honestly? It bothers me on a personal level that someone would actively exclude me simply because of previous games I've played. Not because they've interacted with me and have decided they don't like me OOCly. Not because they've interacted with me and have decided they don't like my roleplay style. Not because they have made any kind of informed decision, but simply because they saw me talk about games I have played in the past.
Of course, no one should feel as though they need to roleplay with any of these "big names" on the forum in order to actually get roleplay out of the game, but this kind of viewpoint is discouraging on a community level, to say the least.
