Did I say that? No. Stop making stupid assumptions.
Putting your words in my mouth might suggest that I
think a character like Xanthrailles is worthless because
we didn't interact together. That's not what I'm saying.
If they don't have an interactive role that's fine with
me. I'm talking about the large percentage of players who
don't roleplay.. who just tell me to fuck off.
How many people on the mud at any given
time technically have a "non interactive role". Doesn't
that defeat the purpose of playing an online game. Perhaps
they'd rather mentally masturbate off line. The ones
that CHOOSE to have a non interactive role, I don't lump
into the first group.. nor would I expect them to throw
ooc insults at me.

I stated my opinion in regards to the majority of people
who play CF. It's a generality, but one that often seems
to fit. If I had a nickel for everytime someone broke character
and acted like a fucking child...
