This isn't just targeted at the posters I've quoted in particular, but it's a general outreach. I'm quoting this particular thread of posts because it was the one that actually made me lean back in my seat and say -whoa-.

I read what was said above and I see merit in it on both sides of the argument. However, I can't help but feel a little odd about the way things are put across. There are...a lot of new roleplayers who read these threads. A lot of shy roleplayers. A lot of roleplayers who want to learn, but struggle with issues of self confidence, or simply some who need a little bit of positive encouragement -- or to read a simple discussion on things. 

Calling something 'stupidly inconsiderate and lazy', 'idiotic', or flat out saying someone's roleplay is 'flat and boring' can very well turn off a novice roleplayer (or shy roleplayer, or a struggling roleplayer) from going forward and learning. I understand that people may hold this view and I respect that they are entitled to their opinions. It is though, a shared space among many and in the end we just want to be excellent to each other and promote a healthy environment where everyone can grow. 

So much of what is discussed here is extremely helpful, but it all goes down the drain if it's put across poorly. Please, I beg of you, all of you, let us consider how our points are presented, and have consideration for those who may be reading them to learn from them. 

My apologies if this post is not in tune with the thread's discussion, but I really think that it needed to be said. Thank you.

I'm a fairly new roleplayer myself, and I am far from perfect. However, my point stands, whether it is used with raw language or more "pretty" words. Expecting others to cater to you IS inconsiderate and lazy. This is not only how roleplay works, but also how life works. If you're hardly putting forth any effort, you shouldn't expect others to fall to their knees for you. 

The reality is, if there is nos substance to your character, there will be no substance to your roleplay. I can't put it in nicer terms than this. When I first started in RP, I made a lot of Rookie mistakes I wish people had poined out to me instead of having to sit down and have to figure it out myself, to this day, I cringe at some of the posts I made.

Mind you, I started RPing little over a year ago. Granted, some people are not as open to criticism, and I do apologize for the language I used, my intention was not to harm or discourage other roleplayers from experimenting with styles. Ultimately, it's their choice as to how they roleplay.
