[QUOTE="silver_wizard, post: 2890535, member: 41299"] It seems to me that this person is all too willing to push things to breaking point. Of course, you should not capitulate once more, IMHO. You are the DM, so the players play by your rules. If he wants to, he can run his own game. Now here's how I see it: ask him to leave and never play with him again (and ask if someone else can host the game from now on), or, if the others object, simply tell them that you are not willing to dedicate your precious time to DM a group of players who do not respect your rules, and leave. When he says that one of you will leave the group, he means that he thinks he can sway the others (using the fact that you play in his house as an advantage) into believing that this is all your fault, WHICH IS NOT, at least from what we know. I take it he is a frequent visitor here, so it would be most convenient to us all if he could post and explain how things went (it's important to hear both sides of the story). Don't get me wrong, as I said, one needs to hear both parts, but since he demonstrated such blatant disregard for the person who does the most work (you), I would be reluctant to let him be a part of my group in the future. If you do, he and the others will be convinced that bullying DOES work. Should you decide to "just drop it" and continue to play with this person (which is not advisable), have him create a new character which will not break any of your rules. If he fails to do so, he does not participate in that night's session (which, hopefully, will be held in someone else's house). [/QUOTE]
