[QUOTE="green slime, post: 1805460, member: 1325"] Drop the guy. Seriously. He is a right jerk carrying on like this every session. I'd suggest everyone in the group write him a ten page email back, explaining why he is being dropped. The game is for fun and to relax and forget worries, and socialize with people one cares for (IMO). If someone at my game had problems, sure, we can discuss those problems and we'll try to help out and give support as best we can. Because people at my game are my friends, and I'd go to great lengths for them if they needed help (the guys I play with I have known for decades!). But once someone ceases to be a friend, then I'd feel no compunction to keep them in. Friendship isn't a oneway street. He needs to realise just how much he has been hurting you others. This isn't the right moment for him to participate in the game. You meet to game. You can't game while You are treating / handling / treading warily around his issues, dude! It isn't your fault his puppy got shot when he was 10. He cannot go through life being so sensitive, and [b]demanding[/b] that others be aware of all his hang-ups. The guy obviously has very serious issues. No healthy indivdual will write a lengthy serious email complaining about how some bard wouldn't have sex with his paladin... Couldn't you repost it here for laughs? I guess not... *sigh* Insist upon counselling. He shouldn't be welcomed back into the game until he gets a grip on life. That doesn't mean to say, that if you do regard him as a friend, that you can't meet, chat over the phone or otherwise be there for him! If he isn't a friend, then just drop him. Tell him why, and tell him he needs therapy. Do not be dishonest. It'll only be worse if he finds out later. [/QUOTE]
