[QUOTE="Jer, post: 8717739, member: 19857"] Talking about this as a hypothetical is pointless. If you have someone who x-cards something and can't tell you why you just move on because only a real jerk[*] makes people air their trauma in public. If they're willing to talk about what button you hit in front of the group that's their choice, not yours, and trying to force them to do it isn't going to make the situation better for anyone. Most of the time people will tell you what made them uncomfortable but if they can't you get them out of that situation as quickly as possible and move on to something else. That's just the right thing to do. [*] The content filter on this site prevents me from using the actual words I'd use to describe someone who tries to force someone to explain their personal trauma to justify not continuing a scene in an RPG session. So I'll just use "real jerk" as a stand in for it. [/QUOTE]
