[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6645661, member: 5834"] I don't mean to be too hard on you, Majoru. I honestly understand completely how you feel. There are people I've gamed with that are mutual friends with the group, but not necessarily my favorite people. You don't really want to quit gaming or hanging with the group, so you sort of put up with them as much as you can to enjoy your hobby and the company of others that you like. I've found as I get older, I have less tolerance for people I don't care for. I tend to remove myself from those situations rather than tolerate them. I don't fault a person for not doing so, because I didn't for many years. I'd just put up with the foibles of others to enjoy my game nights. We all work and toil at life, gaming is fun time, or at least should be. Some people's idea of fun is annoying to others, especially when you DM. I imagine all you can do at the moment is let it blow over as much as possible, try to get back to having fun, and hope nothing else comes of it. That's what I usually did in my younger years. Not much you can do about people with personality traits you don't care for and pointing them out just leads to more conflict that isn't worth having. Life's too short to let someone get under your skin and ruin your fun. If you like gaming with most of your group, just ignore the guy's stupid behavior as much as possible and enjoy the other members and activity as much as you can. [/QUOTE]
