The sort of crap that came out of this guys mouth was incredible. For example, when my wife once asked him to stop arguing with me during the game, he responded with "I encourage players to argue rules or in-game actions with me when I DM!" He once attempted to start a new game that he wanted me to play in so (in his words), "I can show you a better way to DM."When we were discussing yet another game issue (again, during the game), I explained that since I put in hours of preparation every week for the campaign in order to come up with things for both the players to enjoy and for me to enjoy running, I feel that I do have a say on what is or is not allowed in the game. He responded by telling me how much BS that is and that he spends an equal amount of time every week working on his character. He said he gives a lot of thought to his PC and so the work I'm doing is no better than what any other player is doing.Sometimes it doesn't matter how reasonable and sincere you try to be to a player. A lot of players refuse to let a DM do his thing so he can enjoy the game too (as DM).</blockquote>
