In my opinion there is a distinct difference between having stylistic preferences and tying yourself into a set of unwavering standards.
Just because you are willing to give any RPer a shot, doesn't mean that you will click with all of them, but even among RPers that use the same post length, lore compliance, genera focus, gender portrayals, spell check program and syntax choices that you do.... you will still find people that you don't work well with.
Sometimes branching out of your comfort zone can bring a pleasant surprise.
I definitely agree with the OP. Avoiding snap judgements can broaden your RP and lead to many rewarding story lines. It certainly doesn't mean that you need to abandon your own standards of writing or that you need to enjoy every RP scene.
Most of the time it will be a dud...
...... but it will always gain you more RP opportunities..... it might expose you to a new genera you had never tried....... it might inspire a poor writer to improve..... and it might turn out to be a really great story.
