[QUOTE="77IM, post: 6646450, member: 12377"] Actually, reading his posts, Majoru seems a lot wiser and more mature than a lot of the commenters on this thread. Everybody wants to make this simple. "That player is a jerk, ditch him." But human relationships are a lot more complex than that. It's easy to brand Majoru a coward taking the easy way out for putting up with this guy at all. (And definitely, making excuses is easier than taking action, and some of what Majoru is saying reeks of excuses.) But I see a guy who knows he has a problem, and is trying to figure out the best way to handle it, instead of instantly going for the throat. I think there's been some really good discussion on this thread about human nature and how to cope with idiots. It's easy to be a oversimplify and say Majoru will always be miserable because he's not taking the oversimplified advice on this thread. But then I read a story like this and I think, probably everything will be OK: So, Majoru, you totally have my sympathy. I feel your pain. I hope you can figure out how to deal with this guy directly, and not make excuses to allow his bad behavior to continue. [/QUOTE]
