*Snooze bubble pops*
Did you know that I judged this post as soon as I finished reading it?
The OP statement is nothing new, we've all seen it before on many a forum and it still surprises me how many people sound off on a redundancy check. Some of you will look at my first sentence there and immediately judge the rest of this post. I'd be willing to bet most of you will, because most of you have had interactions with me and I'm not the most pleasant person. I AM opinionated and I speak openly. Some will invariably look at the ole Black Hat and think "Oh great, here we go...."
I'm cool with that. It's the way of things and that's really the only advice one can give on a subject like this. Get over it. It sounds rude, I know. There's no clear outcome to a discussion like this, because it's personal preference. It's not a law, it's not a scientific fact of the universe. It's opinion and opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink except mine.
Unless the human race suddenly becomes a hive mind collective, we will never think the same thing at once.
P.S.: I say it all the time: This is not a community. We are not a community. We do not occupy the same space, because the game world is not a space. It's a pass time activity for entertainment. We DO have a characteristic in common and that's roleplaying. HOWEVER, definition 2 of the word "Community" states "A feeling of fellowship with others as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals." RPers do not do this. RPers are self-serving. If we were a community, we would have a commonality that involves open inclusion, where everyone worked toward the betterment of the entire group. Sadly, this is not the case. Occasionally, a few glomp together based on commonality and they become an FC which IS a community. But the RPC is a forum, a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged. The expectation of inclusion and acceptance in a forum is unfortunately absurd.

What a colossal waste of time and energy.
