I know I have done it, shouted out OOC in Chat during "RP" (ie; a battle), and I have tried hard to watch it and IM the other participant instead of shouting in "(( ))".
BUT there is certain times when you can't right click on the person and send an IM because the action is just moving too fast.
Sometimes I do it to try to give advice when someone ask a question IC, but I also do it when someone shows disrespect to a sister or to me OOC while in open chat. I know it is wrong but if someone shows disrespect to a sister or me in open chat in front of others he or she will get it right back at them OOC in open chat in front of others.
I do go out of my way to play fair, follow the rules of our tribe even tolerate "questionable" tactics by opponents MOST (not all) of the time.
To me OOC is human being to human being, not AV to AV. If shown respect by others I give it back and more. But if someone shouts "SHUT THE F@$K UP" to me in open chat OOC, then they will get EVERY SINGLE BIT of it back that my Irish temper can dish out! In charactor they can say/do whatever their twisted imagination can generate.
So, what do you think sisters? Am I wrong? Is it just me being too sensitive?
