(doffs helmet and bows)tauton_ikhnos: as to solving the problem...Obviously, your GM is going to make his own decisions about whether or not he'll scrap the campaigns, and what it will take to make him want to stay.But as a player, I have been in very similar circumstances and I'll offer this:I spoke to the perpetrator privately, not-on-game-night, one-on-one, face-to-face with a cool head, and a rigid spine. I was careful to make it clear that I was speaking for myself, not as some kind of face-man for the group or for the GM.I also made it clear that nothing we said was going to leave the room we were speaking in. I told him that his behavior was no different than peeing in a swimming pool and to please stop being a knucklehead before it wrecked our good thing.He showed up at the next session just to tell us what a pack of wankers we were and put on a big dramatic show of book-slamming, sheet-tearing indignation.Problem solved. 14 years now since he quit and our group has been Fun For All/All For Fun ever since. If he had decided to check himself and stick with us, then that would have also been a welcome outcome. But someone had to make him choose - and make it clear that there was no going on without a change.tauton_ikhnos, I'll bet your guys are higher-caliber friends than that - here's hoping that your group sticks together with your GM and all you guys will be still be together many, many years from now, rolling dice in your rocking chairs on the front porch of the retirement home!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
