See if I was trying to sell something on the forums at all times, perhaps I would have worded that differently. You're criticizing tone on a post made entirely out of frustration at reading 9 pages of the same RP tips tossed about without consideration to the people who've said "Yeah, that didn't work for me" - A post that had other posts written after it, one of which even offered a personal addendum to one of those because it actually worked one time for me and even when it didn't, some people scrolled up and one of them hit me up in /tell after the fact.
To me that feels like going into the Horrible PUGs thread and saying everyone there I would never RP with because their tone is horrible.
Also how would I not read anything into those words, especially after that was done to me with the implication that someone who RPs with literally almost anyone would hesitate in RPing with me?

That's the thing though - I know my personal approach style is different. I don't care much for knowing everything OOC about a character - I'll approach them on IC merits that my character has observed at the time or has legitimately heard about. That I can accept and just shrug because that's how I prefer my RP to happen.
Rumors are fair game though.
(also i'm caving and putting ze wiki in my characters' Player Search - That's certainly a more elegant solution than having "RPer. Adventurer. Student. Caravan Escort. Not from Eorzea." in there.)
