[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 7656412, member: 67338"] by his words he regrets the mistakes made... you honestly believe that when someone makes an argument about something they are MORE likely to NOT have a reason then to have one? ok, but we don't know what he said, how he said it, or why he said it... you assume he was rude said things he should not have and he did so for no reason... my whole point in this thread was that there are reasons why players and DMs collapse into problems, and that a final little detail can be a symptom of a larger lack of communication. then why do you think the DM in question thinks he was in the wrong? unless you have been raised somewhere very different then the world we live in you should understand telling people they are wrong, and they are like children, and they are argueing about nothing, and that there way of having fun is not fun at all or they are bad at things they are being good at... will make them mad. You are pushing buttons and I don't know why... so I will ask one more time... How should I take being compaired to a 9 year old you would scould? we now find something else we disagree on. I feel Anger is a natural response and can be used to good cause... so if someone tries to punch me, and that angers me, that makes me evil? I really don't understand you at all... to get me to do any of that even over the internet would require me to be very mad. so what response do you belive is common to being compare unfavorable to a 9 year old? my anger was justified and used to impress how you are impacting people, it is a thing you could take as a learning experience and be nicer... but since you now belive me evil you will not... so I can deal with players, and I do so in a different way... why do you think you can declair witch way is right? see here is the thing... FR canon brings bad part out of people I know... so it is an excellent example. I don't run or play FR, and I do so for a reason. Players who are great and cooperative for years at a time will be an issue in an FR campaign... it is there pressure point, my example was a non theratical time that I as a player had a reason to interrupt game... it was not for sympathy or approval it was an explanation of a non strawman... you could have used non insulting words... it isn't that you disagree, it's that you insult. the only folly in my story was not speaking up earlier... that I tried to just keep going and 'explore in game' as you say... the information we have is less worse.... maybe it was much worse, maybe not, but no info we have would indicate that. you have told me my way of running games is wrong... you have compaired me to a 9 year old in a bad light you used the word evil to describe something I did hitting my head on the table is a tantrum? yes the same way I would emphasise those words in real life... those are important words that need emphasise... I have never in my memory punched, hit, slapped or grab someone who did not first aggressively touch me or a friend... but again you want to control some narrative where I did something wrong when you came in and insulted [/QUOTE]
