[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8388867, member: 2629"] Again, the points and examples I put above address this issue. I'll go a step further and remind you that people have flaws as well. Sometimes the frustrated person may be in the wrong. Role playing, beyond being a core aspect of some great games, is also a therapeutic tool to deal with many things, including conflict resolution. Using role-playing to help us expand our tool set to deal with real world problems is a side benefit of D&D. It can help us learn (and teach) ways to deal with conflict. In the end, when one player says, "Hey, I'm upset. You all have to change what you're doing because I'm upset," we have to consider the situation as a whole. We want to be inclusive, we want to be welcoming, and we want to be supportive - but that does not mean that the best answer is avoidance. There are a lot of ways to deal with the situation - even when a player is unhappy - and often they can be dealt with in the game. [/QUOTE]
