[QUOTE="seebs, post: 7382487, member: 61529"] This directly contradicts what you have said about assuming everyone is a mature adult and you don't have a reason to change things to deal with their possibly-temporary mental health issues. You're now acknowledging that sometimes you would in fact change a thing based on another player's needs or boundaries. No one has said "other people get to decide what's reasonable and force you to observe their demand" was a good idea. If you thought that was the argument, you were arguing against something people weren't saying. The essential element of empathy is in understanding that people could have such concerns, and that it's reasonable to try to find strategies under which people don't get hurt when it could have been easily avoided. That would require, though, explicitly stating that you won't grant accommodations, rather than merely declaring that it's on them if they get hurt or can't deal. [/QUOTE]
