That's actually not an uncommon reaction for hard-core RPers. I know I have quit table-top games because the full extent of the lore given to build our characters within was what the GM could dredge up from the lap dancers at the local strip bar.

So, no, it's not really that extreme. If one values RolePlay and good, detailed character conception, to have all that work ripped out from under you years after the fact kinda lets the air out of your tires. People continue to RP with you, but it's all.. wrong.
