No, what made that annoying was the 5-15 minutes of arguing in-character we had to go through every time there was a possibility of a fight starting, since the player refused to have his character take part in the fight until they'd been persuaded in-character. Mind, the player was a bit of an attention whore in every game I played with him, and I think this particular way of making sure he get his spotlight time was not intended to be quite as annoying as it turned out.As for the pacifist priest, the problem was simple. When he wasn't pusruing his particular quest, the character was going to retire to his grove (priest of Eldath in FR, for those who are familiar with the setting) to meditate and cleanse himself. And if the thing the other PCs were doing wasn't related to what he was reluctantly doing, then he wouldn't take part. So either the game session was about his character, or his character sat out the session. Which was unfair to other people if they had things they wanted their characters to do, since they didn't really want to exclude the player regularly but his character concept meant they had to. Or they could be sidekicks in his story, which also isn't exactly fair to them.</blockquote>
