That is our implied social contract. We see the DM as final arbiter of his campaign. We don't argue about that right but if we hate...

Then you may be the type of player that at least for me and my group is not a good fit. This sort of behavior is adjacent to rules...

I think if the person is taking their time in an ideal environment maybe you'd be right but this is often in the heat of combat and a...

I don't think obscure knowledge is appropriate to complain about to a DM or the group. It's like nitpicking a movie because you are a...

I don't believe you have to be an expert in the way you are saying. The only kinds of games I enjoy are well designed and well thought...

Yeah. The mechanics only tell you the result. It's completely up to the GM--completely, totally, absolutely arbitrary--what that result...
