Agreed. I would stil continue to RP publicly. As it will help advertise RP if other RPers are in the area. Also, to make it know that there is an RP presence towards non-RPers may help attract those who have never RPed to give it a try. That was the case for me.Â
I will admit years ago I was one of those trolls who did not quite understand RPers or RP in general. And yes having RPers around while doing somethign was annoying. But, after a while of seeing it, I would eventually begin to become more curious about it and well here I am now. A rather heavy RPer on MMOs.Â
So, I say continue to RP publicly no matter what, continue to ignore trolls, and not lash back out. Even though you may have some people mistreat  you publicly, but you will also open up something new to people who have never tried it.
