[QUOTE="Janx, post: 2654371, member: 8835"] I've got a simple response for mr. Frank's cryptic reply: "Dear Mr Frank, You have been ejected from my campaign because on several occasions you have exhibited anti-social behavior that is not conducive to the enjoyment of the group. Specific instances are: coming to a pot-luck BBQ and not contributing anything taking food at said BBQ without asking taking muffins made for the entire group and not sharing any of them falling asleep during the game being a rude guest Frankly, Frank, your inability to understand why you've been kicked out, is precisely why you are being kicked out. Have a nice day." Now on the issue of the other GM's campaign and such, that's a touchy subject. You generally shouldn't discuss the nature of disagreements with outsiders, as a rule of good manners. In your own group, you should clearly communicate what action you took, and a summary explanation of why as well as on what authority (ex. it's your house, and your campaign). Beyond that, until you get back to another game with Frank that you don't run, nobody else in your gaming community needs to know all the details. You don't want to be seen as trying to give Frank a bad reputation. He'll be doing that on his own. You are in your own right to say to the other GM (when the time comes) that you cannot play in the same game as Frank. If the GM asks why, you can clarify by stating that you had kicked him out of your group for his poor behavior and that you are standing by your decision to not have him in your company. You haven't asked the GM to do anything. He may (after reviewing his own evidence) decide he likes you and is annoyed at Frank as well and follow your example. Remember, there are 6 billion people on the planet. You don't have to put up with jerks. Janx [/QUOTE]
