If you are in a role-play where you are not reading the posts in the IC… then you are frankly, a bad role-player. That’s the end of it, there’s no middle ground. If you are not aware of the events occurring from your co-writers and peers then you shouldn’t be in that role-play or perhaps in a role-play at all. Understanding concurrent events, actions, and dialogue/thoughts are central to writing with people – otherwise as someone said before: don’t bother and go write your own prose by yourself. Nothing frustrates me more than someone who skim-reads but to learn that a lot of people here have admitted to NOT READING THEIR WRITING PARTNERS MATERIAL is downright unacceptable and blatantly disgusting.

Exactly. There is something ridiculously vain about RPing but not reading posts. Are the posts too long? Fine, join a casual or free RP. Does it move too quick for you? Fine, join slower RP. 

But the implication of writing posts but not reading everybody else's is that you think the show is about you. Because, why else would you be in an RP if you don't enjoy the communal aspect of the thing? If you want everyone to give you attention but are completely unwilling to reciprocate, then you are behaving quite poorly indeed.
