I understand completely, Damon, and I apologize. I just... for games that take place in a universe I know a lot about (such as this), I tend to approach things as if I [i]was[/i] the GM. The actual GMs of this thread haven't been around for a couple of days, and haven't commented on anyone's sheets yet, so in this case it's even [i]harder[/i] for me to ignore things like "this character has the obvious qualities of a Slytherin, but under House he's put Gryffindor". Without some kind of mitigating factor (i.e. the Hat), it isn't plausible for someone with those characteristics to be in Gryffindor, and I feel the overwhelming need to say something about it.

-sigh- In my mind, all I did was bring up an incongruity and cite a few places where the incongruity is most obvious, but on the receiving end, it's a blatant attack on your character concept, and that's just not cool. My dilemma is, though, until you tell me that you know he is a bit Slytherin-ish but you want him to be in Gryffindor anyway, I have no idea why the incongruity exists. For all I know, the Gryffindor is a mistake, and you meant to put Slytherin. If I [i]don't[/i] say anything, the incongruity's going to persist, and it's going to be [i]wrong[/i]. 

:( I have a complex about things being wrong. Again, Damon, I meant no offense against you or your character, and thank you for pointing out my being an asshat. I'm always trying to be more polite about these things, and most of the time I don't manage it, but I'll keep trying.
