But that's exactly what fluff is.

Fluff (or Lore if you want to be more polite and less demeaning) is gamer slang for the histories and colorful descriptions used for a game or game setting that have no mechanical effect on the game's rules. It is the opposite of Crunch. 

It's really slang. I didn't mean any disrespect by using it. Even though technically its demeaning. Whoops...

This is why people picking their words carefully is very important. I'm not a tactful person by nature, but I feel I get my accurate point across.

Still doesn't change my point. It's more for the background and setting then actually a game mechanic.

Indeed it is, and I encourage people to include as much lore as possible. Think of it this way -- a skilled role-player would actually take that lore and use it as the basis for some of their character's posts. Perhaps your character just returned from a quest and gained a new achievement? That's not a bad thing to have the character reflecting on internally during the opening of your post, and if the GM hadn't specified that detail about the world then I'd need to ask him if such a concept existed before writing about it. The finer things are in the details.
