[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8468635, member: 29398"] For me it depends on the actions and the bothering. Outright traumatizing someone, no. Mocking a real-world difference, no (unless I know the person is more than capable of giving it right back, in which case all's fair). But I well remember one guy I played with who got wigged out when my character developed a crush on his character and I roleplayed (voice only) how she was flirting with him; and call me callous if you like but IMO if something like that bothers someone then that person might have some self-examination to do. And as it turned out I really was on to something in his attitudes without realizing it: a few years later (after he'd left our games not entirely by his own choice) he was had up and convicted on kiddie porn charges. Depending on the situation, there's times where the choice of what I do in-character is made based on what's (potentially) funnier; but our games sometimes tend toward the slapstick anyway so it usually fits in fine. :) [/QUOTE]
