I have read  this thread with interest as a person who, whilst having some prior RP experience, still considers herself to be in a learning stage. I think we never stop improving and honing our skills.Â
I would appreciate roleplaying with someone who has Theodric's approach to helping people. What I don't like is if I go away from an RP wondering if I made bloopers that no one was comfortable telling me about, or if I was just boring and no one thought it was their place to give me suggestions for new ideas. Of course I don't expect everyone to help me, but I would be more than happy to RP with people who sent me the occasional /tell to say (you might want to try doing that this way) or who would meet up with me afterwards to give me suggestions.Â
I might not agree with everything they suggest, but I would add the knowledge to my mental list of things to consider when thinking about how people interpret my style. As long as it is done with kindness, discretion and with a genuine wish to help, and not to feed their own ego, then I would welcome that approach very much.
I hesitated as to whether to contribute to this discussion, because the atmosphere in here has turned hostile. It was a good discussion that I found interesting, but it makes me sad to see someone be singled out in the manner that happened here. I'd like to see this discussion stay on topic, and have an atmosphere where everyone feels safe to express their opinion and stay constructive.
