Pretty interesting views in there.
I will say two things.
While it may sound like "it's not me, it's him!" argument, I must say that I only started having this us vs them view when I started experiencing major griefing as a RPer. Before that, I was just a normal person who enjoyed spicing up my gaming with some RP.
Likewise, I support this whole "RP pride" thing (don't like the name either) only in the sense that people here seem worried about griefers and jerks and that when confronted by those people, we should stand tall and strong. I do NOT advise or support this attitude in general.
I simply find it a more efficient defensive mechanism than to hide in a corner rant about them.
The other thing I'd like to say is that you seem to make plenty of generalizations, saying that the kind of people who go there and like this and like that, but at the same time you refuse to define yourself by what you do. Why then, define others by what they do? Kind of a contradiction there that makes me hesitant to agree with your otherwise valid points.

Funny how those are the cities from some of the most popular games. I wouldn't expect anyone to pick the cities of FF II, III, or V as they weren't originally released outside of Japan (or at least not in the US).
