I usually just use my own common sense.  He on the other hand was something of a Rules Lawyer and liked the game to obey every rule in the book.  Both are valid gaming styles.  He also had a tendency to get very loud (several of my players agreed on this) and after most games I'd go to bed with a headache after having rules disputes yelled at me all night.  The final straw for him was a house rule that didn't benefit the players (he had no problems with the other ones that did).  I stood firm on the rule and he left.Anyway, I just recently discovered that he is wanting to join my Wednesday group.  Even though he left my Sunday group on decent terms it is still going to be a little "weird" if he joins my Wednesday group.  I told my DM about what happened with this guy but obviously the decision on whether to let him join is still up to the DM.  The majority of the players in my Wednesday group also play in my Sunday group and they have expressed that the game has run much more smoothly and has been more fun in general since he left.  I don't want to feel uncomfortable if he joins but dang it I've been with this Wednesday group longer... I've got seniority.  I don't want this to become a contest of who can tolerate the "weirdness" the longest.  I'd almost equate it to the feeling of hanging out with an ex-girlfriend in a social setting.  You may have broken up on good terms but you still can't relax in their presence.What should I do? :\</blockquote>
