Posting as a player, I think that DocM needs to be a DM. He's always complaining about games that aren't being run the way he thinks they should be run. It doesn't matter whether he is whining or posting with reasons. I could care less how anyone wants to classify the posts. From the posts I've read, he's never satisfied with the way games are run. He often posts very rudely about how his opinions are not in synch with other players and DMs.
He needs to run a game as a DM so he can find a game that runs the way he wants it to run not so he can find out how tough it is. DM's can suck. I hope that DocM finds that he is not one of those DM's. If he is not just whining, and is not one of those people who is more happy complaining than trying, he will accept the challenge and maybe be happier for it.
Reapersaurus, you should not be so quick to dismiss advice based on what you assume. I am posting as a player. Try not to be defensive about what you assume. It makes you generalize about the source of advice and dismiss it without actually knowing what you are talking about.
I have read DocM posts and agree that he should not be playing with the group that he was asked to leave. I agree that he should not join another group where the same situation exists. It looks like there are other players in that group that are happy. He should start his own group and run the game the way he thinks it should be run.
I wish him luck.
