[QUOTE="Keifer113, post: 2913090, member: 41266"] I think perhaps had he been more truthful about what he posted then I would feel the outside perspectives would be more helpful. He is very inexperienced at gaming, so his assumption that he was in a bad game does not warrant a post full of insults. I can find dozens of players who can attest that I run a fun game. While you can't please everyone all the time, perhaps he should realize this: that we were going to ask him not to come back because his gaming/social skills were not upto par. One of the other players wanted to try and steer him the right way, so I was going to give him that chance. It rankles me that he feels he is an expert when he is not, and I feel the personal attacks are not needed. If he didn't have fun, he didn't have fun. Walk away from the game and find another one. I can see now from his posts that he is just not only a newbie at the game, but very very immature. So let me ask you this: You are in what you think is a bad game, but you are not experienced. Should you just quit the game, or ask for help from the DM and other players. I have taught people how to game and never had such a problem before. I would be happy with an apology. I am sure he will cross my path at the FLGS, as I still go there and have a ton of friends who still play there. [/QUOTE]
