Right.  The statement that the "player was banned for roleplaying" is
what we call spin or propaganda.   Dozens of other players have posted
stories of their EQ characters around the net.  I don't consider it
roleplaying either.  But to say EQ bans roleplaying begs the question, 
why haven't these other "roleplayers" been banned?   

I am as suprised as you to learn that Stephen King and Margaret Mitchell 
were actually roleplaying rather than merely writing stories.
