For the time I've been lurking on RPC's forums, I've been under the impression that most folks seem to fall in-between the 'lore nazi' and 'free spirit' statuses. Or, that is to say, a majority are in the "bend it, don't break it" camp. But there are many different levels of this for each individual. I'm all for bending lore, personally... However, I do try to cling as closely to lore as I can afford to. Why? Because for me, it's a lot of fun to see what I can create under a certain set of restrictions. For others, not so much. And I can easily respect that.
It's when 'free spirited RPers' start trying to force others to accept their head canon... or when lore nazi RPers start outright policing the RP of lore breakers... that things take a very nasty turn.
As long as all parties personally involved with you agree with what you're doing, and everyone's cool, then just have fun and carry on with your business.
