[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7794509, member: 6801845"] I don't know the real reason he blocked me. I tried asking once when he unblocked me for a couple of days. I responded to one of his posts and literally his reply was "don't do that". I replied "what, exactly?" Then he blocked me again with no clarification. I will admit that when he was laying out is approach I pointed out that he skipped a clarifying sentence, ignored the subsequent paragraph/bullet points and didn't mention the DMG section on traps. I have no problem whatsoever with different people having different styles or different interpretation of the rules. Different approaches to the game are going to work for different people. I do get tired of people saying "The rules say" when it's only one interpretation. Or that somehow "the rules say" implies that any other opinion is not valid. When Jeremy Crawford or one of the devs comes out extolling the virtues of "Goal and Approach" along with some of the other guidelines and say that those styles are what they intended, I'll give it a little more weight. Ignore it most likely, but at least then it would have some legitimacy. Then again I've never blocked anyone. But differences of opinion? Sometimes we're going to agree sometimes we're not. If I found someone was being offensive or making personal attacks I'd report it. All I know is that he's never reported me for offensive behavior as far as I can tell. [/QUOTE]
