[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 6870702"] Maxperson makes me pull my hair out with his stubborn insistence on believing things which are just completely illogical. It's sort of like talking to an anti-GMO zealot. But I think he honestly believes his position. Then there's CosmicKid: I've been having trouble understanding the anger and hostility, and how my attempt to describe how a non-typical path of RP could enable some interesting (and hopefully entertaining) storytelling, and from CosmicKid it's just been a constant barrage of insults, and an assumption that I'm trying to dictate to other people how to play the game (when, if anything, this thread has been a few people trying to dictate to me how I can't play). Really? Attempting to find an alternate interpretation of the Int ability is this threatening? Something else has got to be going on. I really can't think of a better, more peaceful, more non-aggressive way of handling irresolvable table disagreement by simply not playing at that table. And somehow CosmicKid turns that into childish, self-absorbed, petulance. Maybe he's imagining temper tantrums and insults and nasty posts on Twitter or something. And I have to wonder, why would somebody read "I won't play at that table?" and automatically assume such things? And then, realization. Ohhhhhh....right. Now I get it. Bad on me for earlier admitting to my share of the sniping, and offering to try again, and then continuing in good faith even though the other party failed (and continues to fail) to acknowledge the same. Even after I said I was done, that it had gotten too toxic, I got dragged back into the mud pit. Now I truly am done. This is what the /ignore list is for, right? [/QUOTE]
