They fall into the category of being so bad they have, in some zen manner, become good.

I choose the setting and the system, and put in plenty of prep work before the campaign starts, so I never have that problem. I have started and realized: this specific player has to go.

You could call them the Brotherhood of Steel.

For the last six years I only game online (and will never game F2F again). I also only GM, and only run campaigns of a year plus in real time. The key in forming, and later bringing in replacements to such a group, is vetting. Online requires fewer table rules as a lot of issues are not present...

TSR? That's hardcore edition loyalty. Although they did have good quality.
