[QUOTE="TheCosmicKid, post: 6870948, member: 6683613"] Something else [I]is[/I] going on: you're arguing in bad faith. You're attributing every character and player action you disapprove of to a hostile motivation when no such motivation is in evidence. Yeah, you're absolutely right that I'm pissed at you [I]now[/I], but it has nothing to do with your "finding an alternate interpretation of the Int ability", and everything to do with you repeatedly insinuating that everybody who disagrees with you is malicious, psychologically damaged, or both, and displaying more interest in these invented faults than in what people are actually saying. Were you not performing the tabletop gaming equivalent of "Well, you only say that because you're a Nazi", we could still be talking about this amicably. See? You're doing it [I]again[/I]. I don't know what you think you "realize" about me, but I strongly suspect it is not accurate. Do you think I've had bad experiences with ragequitting players or ragequit myself? I've literally never left anyone's table because of playstyle incompatibility, amicably or otherwise, nor had anyone leave mine. As for temper tantrums and insults, that's [I]exactly[/I] what you're describing yourself as doing in [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?482860-Geniuses-with-5-Int/page28&p=6870112&viewfull=1#post6870112"]this post[/URL]. Or did you think "fools" was a term of endearment? Peacefully leaving the table is fine, but that's not what you said you'd do. Hah! "Good faith." Your initial acknowledgment that you were in the wrong gave me hope that we could continue in good faith, as did your acknowledgment of my point about Insight versus Deception.
