I think it's a bit exacerbated by the fact that we don't actually have an officially designated RP server.
This isn't to say that people that have no interest in RP don't roll on RP servers. They most certainly do. But usually in those cases they do so with the understanding that they are playing on an RP server, and often have a better tolerance of people playing ICly. Not to say we don't get trolls and ill-tempered people though, those exist everywhere.
But there are environments that are more RP positive, it's just sad that with all the truly awesome RP tools we were given by SE, an RP-tagged server wasn't one of these.
