[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9490256, member: 93670"] The trend of automatically assuming that any gm call is in the wrong without extending the benefit of the doubt to consider reasons why it might have been reasonable is an incredibly toxic behavior that stems from and reinforces the sort of rules disagreements noted in the OP. Beyond that it gives players bad expectations for their gm by causing them to also feel their GM is less likely to deserve the benefit of the doubt when they see it regularly. Our disagreement has nothing to do with arguing [I]for[/I] the uninvolved gm and it's bizarre that you would make such a strange assumption. When you decided to take your private personal opinion public and post about it condemning the gm call that was made you opened up that opinion itself to be critiqued and criticized. In this case your opinion is being criticized because it it incapable of being "well-founded" as long as it is built atop the faulty assumptions that no reasonable GM might feel the need to make the call that was made & make it for reasonable reasons.
