It counts as fucking LARPing when you assign 15 charisma and 12 intelligence to a Barbarian in a game that will never, ever notice it. 16 Dex and 20 Con would be better to an extreme degree, and the game won't notice any difference (except in an incredibly small number of cases, in which you could just as well use another character).
LARPing = "imagining" something within the game that the game doesn't react to. I.e. Cooking dinner and making your house pretty in Oblivion, or choosing not to wear the better armor because a worse armor looks more cool. Baldur's Gate will not treat your Dwarf differently whether you assign 10 or 15 charisma to him, so if it helps your game to use the 5 points elsewhere, giving him 15 "because it fits the character" is the very definition of LARPing.

Don't really care myself (I can LARP sometimes, if it doesn't hurt my game, though it's rare), but your lulz-smiley is pretty funny considering how correct the accusation was
