Message: <blockquote data-quote="jdavis" data-source="post: 671191" data-attributes="member: 8704">It almost sounds like you are digging to find a reason to take the DM's side in this arguement. I'll pick on this quote: Do you mean the part where he apologized for the book readingor the part where he called and gave notice and explained why he was missing instead of just ditching for several weeks at a time with out any given reason. "civil, respectful company????" Even if you say that 50% of the posted story is a outright lie where do you get "civil, respectful company." As far as "reasonable expectations of behavior" he was behaving much like a huge portion of gamers act, not everybody pays 100% attention during the game, not everybodies game is a must attend event, not everybody is that darn touchy that skimming a book once and apologizing about it is a offense worth being removed from the group over. You are working very very hard to justify this DM's actions, the guy looked through a book once and apologized, he missed once and called ahead to let the DM know, when did these become hanging offenses. Where did he act outside of the norm for this group. Yes there was something else going on in this DM's head but why does it have to be something this guy did to intentionally make the DM angry. You are taking a very extreme view of things and are working very hard to justify the DM's actions. The DM killed his character while he wasn't there, then ran him out of the group, even people who play very serious and strict campaigns can agree that that was well over the line for the offense of once skimming a book during the game or missing the game once for personal reasons.</blockquote>
