[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 677096, member: 8704"] I am still under the impression that the DM didn't mention it as a problem until after it had all blown up, if the DM had said it was a problem when he called to cancel then that would be a problem, but saying that was the problem the next week when you are confronted with people asking you what your problem is is a different story all together. If it was never stated as a problem when other people did it and was never stated as a problem when he called to cancel, then how come it became a big enough problem to give somebody the boot over after the fact? I agree 100% that we are not getting the full story, I just feel this was a silly excuse the DM used, not a actual problem. If you take DC at his word that they had been gaming for a long time and were at least casual friends outside of the game (he did give the guy a computer, among other things, they had a relationship outside of D&D) then it becomes even stranger, would you break off a friendship over this? There has to be more to the story and I would figure that the actual problem had nothing to do with D&D, or that the DM has a tendency to overeact to small things. That is a very noble and vary rare trait, most people are wishy washy about saying what is actually on there mind, and it is extremely possible the DM was just throwing that out as a excuse, I would figure that is a much greater possibility based on the way people tend to act. I'm sure you wouldn't of taken your frustrations out on somebody "in character" during the game, you would of taken them aside and fix the problem. If the DM was anything like the way you present yourself here then none of this would of ever been a problem, you would of taken care of it, but you can't put yourself in this guys shoes, this guy was pretty irrational (that is obvious even without his side of the story given), why would he all the sudden be rational and straight forward later after the fact, when he acted irrationally for weeks before?
