I'm perfectly happy to keep roleplaying with people I may otherwise dislike if they're respectful to me and everyone else, and I show them the same courtesy. And on the other side of the spectrum, if there's a disrespectful person in my roleplay, they're out. I don't care if they're young or old, I don't care if they're a CEO of a successful company. People will accept you as long as you show respect to the roleplay, to the GM, to the players and the other characters. Writing ability will follow that as a secondary thing.

Funny, I keep hearing this from people. I hear this from  music directors all the time, that talent comes second to amicability. I hear from teachers that they grade people more harshly on classroom participation than on the actual quality of the student's work. 
Why do people care so much about how personally irritating they find a person if their work is good? We came here to RP, not make friends. 
I get that I'm only saying this because I'm a jackass and I can't see why other people can't handle it, but still, I think that hard work is undervalued and that people care too much about how much they personally like a person and let that bias whether or not their work is accepted. 
Just a mini-rant there, feel free to ignore.
