[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6694823, member: 5834"] I've had fun discussions with Canadians on many topics such as this. Europeans and Canadians definitely tend to have a very different worldview than Americans. Then again it's mostly out of the hands of common citizens, so it's often a pointless discussion. If you got the juice, you can generally do what you want until someone with more juice comes along and stops you. That's one of the reasons I like fantasy games. In fantasy games PCs have the juice to stop evil pieces of garbage, whereas in real life we have to watch the evil happen and hope it gets taken care of properly, even though that is often not the case. I've walked away from some gaming groups due to a player I didn't care for, especially now that I'm older. I don't have the patience to tolerate behavior I don't care for any longer. All you have to ask yourself is are you having enough fun to tolerate an occasional outburst from this guy. If the answer is yes, you stay. If no, you go. If I was in your position, I'd probably antagonize the guy on occasion, but mostly ignore him focusing on players that I enjoy playing with. If I'm DMing, I'd give him something to do on occasion to make him happy and placate him, then keep on running the people I actually have fun with. If these are your gaming friends, learn to tune the guy out as much as possible. Let the occasional outburst die down. Keep on gaming. Even with these outbursts, it seems like you're mostly having fun and still enjoy hanging out with most of your group. It's nearly impossible to find a gaming group where everyone gets along. Learning to tolerate and associate with people you don't care for is part of life, especially in social group activities. Just suck it up. Vent on here every once in a while. Keep on gaming with your buds. [/QUOTE]
