Trying to avoid certain things doesn't necessarely have anything to do with being embarassed or shy about what you do though. I'm proud to roleplay, and I have absoultely no intention of hiding it.
I used to wear sort of gothic style clothes in highschool, and no matter how little I cared about the negative comments I got, it doesn't mean I wouldn't have prefered that it didn't include the threat of a serious beating from a couple of rockers.
To me, avoiding people like /b/ or SKUM or the Goons has nothing to do with being a roleplayer and everything to do with simply not wanting to play with those types of people (yes, I know the Goons can be fun to hang around, it's just an example since I know they've been mentioned before
).
I know there'll be idiots on all servers, but that doesn't mean we have to seek them out.
That being said, I completely agree with your point! We should NOT be ashamed, and we should not be trying to hide. And as I said in another thread, I'm sure it won't be a big problem no matter what.
In general I agree with you, I really do. I just wanted to explain at least my own reasoning for wishing to avoid certain people, and it has nothing to do with being a roleplayer.

I came for the ERP, I stayed for the free booze.
