What fascinates me is why, whenever we get to this point, you insist on trying to make it very clear and explicit that ELFCRUSHER IS NOT PLAYING BY THE RULES!!!!! (An assertion I disagree with, by the way.)
Why can't you just say, "Oh, that's interesting. You and I do this differently."? Why is it so important to you that your version is "by the rules" and my version is not?
Mostly because you usually come off as arrogant and dismissive of my style of play when you disagree with me. It's irritating, and I tend to respond to people how they act towards to me. There are other posters here who I have great conversations with, because even if we disagree, it's just a discussion. I much prefer that sort of thing.
Here you imply that I'm a douche if I don't agree with that sort of concept.
If everybody at the table is on board with the concept (read: "not being a douche") then not only are there always solutions to any situation you can contrive, but finding and roleplaying those solutions is part of the fun. It's only when somebody at the table is determined to prove that another player is having badwrongfun that things gets difficult.
Here you imply that I emotionally scar players.
Sometimes I wonder if some of the posters here are simply emotionally scarred from playing with selfish, uncooperative rules lawyers, and are now afraid of anything that might give those players an opening to be disruptive
Here you dismiss the way I play as "utter nonsense"
Saelorn says stuff like that, too, and I think it's utter nonsense. NPCs and PCs are not real people, so there's no such thing as "what they would do", and if they were real people it would be impossible to know for certain what they would do, especially in the sort of novel, unpredictable, high-stress situations heroes get themselves into.
If you want people to treat you differently and just have enjoyable conversations, try not posting in the manner you do with them. In the past you and I have clashed like this, but occasionally you don't act that way and we've had decent conversations. It's really up to you.
