Those were just my opinions. I have absolutely no problem with someone saying "in my opinion an RPI has <feature 1>, <feature 2>, and <feature 3>."

What I have a problem with is someone picking an arbitrary feature that amounts to no more than personal preference and saying it is a requirement to be a Role Playing Intensive (RPI) game. Part of why I took issue with it so strongly is because some of those traits were no more related to role playing than the chipset or operating system used on the server.

Also, what I was suggesting in the last part of the post was that if someone wanted to attempt to create acronyms for classification (perhaps for use her at TMS) that it would be better to stay general as far as mandatory traits and then have further questions to differentiate within a classification.
