The job of the DM is to help the players tell a fun and (hopefully at least every once in a while) exciting story. If they have strayed from this, especially as a way to get back at a player at the expense of the other players, then they have fundamentally failed.It took me a while to realize this, but once you wise up and realize that the DM's job is absolutely *not* to "Be the boss" then your game will be far better for it. Your job as DM is to submit to the players wants without allowing any one character to monopolize the story, adapt to the character actions driving the story, and keep your responses within the boundaries of the agreed upon ruleset and in the best interest of the player's story.</blockquote>
