All this talk of donuts, croissants and sandwiches is making me hungry... 
Still, as accepting as we should all try to be of all RP-styles out there, there are certain points where a line must be drawn. For me, this line is to keep my characters out of/a minor role in all lore and "story mode" moments. This allows for creativity with your character, as well as being able to say "Yeah, I was there!" without the Donut-Croissant-Sandwich scenario.
Of course, as is with all things human, some people will likely disagree with this concept. To them, I welcome their view point as mine is by no means the be all and end all, though it would be nice that (if a player insists on having their character being a major part in the storyline quests whilst in-character) their character simply roleplayed in a small-ish circle and, should they attempt to contact with the greater roleplay community, their character undergoes some minor tweaks just to avoid OOC conflicts of opinion.
Apologies if I just re-wrote what you both said, just figured I'd throw in my two pence and ideas.
 I am now off to grab a sandwich.
