This thread isn't the first time I've seen role-players trying to claim that there's no 'right' or 'wrong' way of engaging in role-play. Do people really believe that, or is it just one of the generic 'feel good' stock phrases often dropped into a conversation whenever there's an expectation for people to be of a reasonable standard?
Even the most simple of tasks can be messed up pretty badly and done incorrectly, especially if people make a conscious decision to do just that. That doesn't mean people should go around hounding them for it, though there's nothing wrong with sending constructive criticism their way. It doesn't make people 'mean' or 'elitist'. In many cases they simply want to help enrich the experience of misguided or new role-players.
