What I can say to you about it is that I've always regretted (and still do) the need to have to do so. I second guess myself and ask if there was some other way I could have handled it that would satisfy everyone. The answer is probably not, but its not satisfying. What I did do is made sure I gave the two guys in question lots of chances to come around.Talk to him about it. I assume you already have but I'd suggest that rather than entering the conversation with "You are outta here mister" that instead you apologize to him and the rest of the group for loosing your temper and leaving the game. Then address with him the issue at hand, his refusal to accept the game being played and his argumentative attitude that is ruining the play for yourself and the other gamers. Lay your cards on the table, you are running 3.5 not 2.0, that is the game he signed up for and if he doesn't want to play that game thats pefectly fine, but its time to leave and find the game he really wants to play. Not only that, but as adults we give up our valuable spare time to enjoy each others fellowship and a good story, disagreements and rules squabbles happen, but if everyone at the table agree's that the GM is running the game, when you make a call shelf the arguement for the sake of the game and bring it up after session to hash out. If he agree's great... if not thats great too issue solved. If he agrees but doesn't follow through you can then uninvite him from the game with a sense of having done all you could in order to accomodate everyone. As the GM of the game, you are cast in the role of the group leader, I feel that its part of a leaders responsiblity to try to resolve issues such as this in everyone's best interests. I hope this helps, good luck!</blockquote>
