Why do you care about what some random person on an internet forum thinks about you? It's infinitely worse to just disappear than to say why you want to leave. If they take offense in your reasons, then it's questionable whether they are worth the time and effort of roleplaying to begin with.My complaint this time is directed at myself. After not believing in the negative stereotypes of roleplayers and believing myself impervious to them, I am now convinced that they exist and that I can fall victim to them as well! Feels great, actually; much easier to identify and avoid them now that I've seen them in action.

To which stereotypes are you referring? Now I'm interested in this as a topic, as I'm sure we all notice different trends and a multitude of complaints here come from people picking out the ones they don't like, but it's always fun to see what someone perceives as a stereotype versus another.
