This thread didn't turn me off. In fact, I found it interesting to hear how different players view the linkshell (everything else just looked like typical forum arguing to me, except a lot more polite and calm than a lot of forums I've read, so i have great respect for that. If this is considered a 'horrible turn off' on this forum, then if anything, it's made me a little more respectful of the community).
Moving on, I joined the OOC shell as a way to reveal myself to the player base as an RPer and to know who is more likely to respond if I start emoting in front of them. I was also hoping a bit of casual roleplaying to come my way, but everyone on the shell in Gridania seemed busy, so I ended up playing around Acon Orchard (until someone walked in on me as I was doing so, making me feel rather embarrassed XD ). I did expect a social side to the shell, though, so I wasn't that suprised when i joined. And to be fair, there was some RP chat going on as well in the shape of preparation for an event (although I believe most of that ended up being about Dante and his subligar XD ).
I have one problem with the shell atm, and it's a problem that is my fault, and that's I'm too shy to ask if anyone is up for roleplaying >.< . I'm sure after meeting a few of you guys ingame, I can get over that though.
