    "I believe, as we've all been given the gift of a fresh start on this server, we should keep that in mind. There is a person behind the computer, and any kind of imagination should never be put down."

    I know I shouldn't say this, but this really seems like self-projection. I won't go into details, again, but if you're going to write a post about a topic, please, remain objective and attempt to keep your own views out of it. Topics, debates, arguments, as soon as someone brings themselves into it, it devolves into a terrible competition of ego-measurement and victim complexes. If you want topics to remain on-track in the future, keep in mind that whenever you mention yourself  you put yourself at risk of people jabbing you for doing so.

    I said that because Azarchius and many of the admins have said it too. It's nothing about ego, or being a victim. I think you are sadly misinformed and the entire point of this post was to bring others view into it. A healthy discussion. If you'd look back at the other comments they have all been thoughtful and respectful, yours is the only one not being so. I respect your thoughts as I do to anyone. I will mention myself, in anyway I like, my own experiences effect my views I was simply explaining them and if people 'jab' at me for doing that, then so be it. Lord knows it won't be the first time it's happened.

    I don't believe this will be a very popular opinion, but it's something that I think needs to be a addressed within the general role playing community. 

    We have all, at some point or another been laughed at for role playing, the first thing that comes into most peoples minds when you say the word role playing is a latex nurse costume. What they don't understand that this community, at it's core is about imagination, and the collaboration of unplanned interactions between characters we have created in our own minds. I believe it's a strong connection, to create a story with another person, that might be on the other side of the world, and I think it's a wonderful and even a unique thing. You could feel a thousand books of all the story's we've partaken in.  

    But knowing this, why do you attack people OOC for their character, why do we suppress their creativity just because it's not in line with our own. 

    I believe, as we've all been given the gift of a fresh start on this server, we should keep that in mind. There is a person behind the computer, and any kind of imagination should never be put down. 

    If you think it's a case of going against cannon lore, then simple don't role play with that person, or ask that person questions in a kind way to see what it is about that character that has drawn them into it so much. Don't instantly put someone down because they are not role playing your exact interpretation of blizzards cannon lore. 

    I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this subject, it needs to be spoken about I believe. I hope my point came across.
