I'm trying to say what define's a GM period, I'm trying to clarify what defines/seperates a good GM from a bad one. And at the same time also get the point across than an RP isn't dead just because the GM gives up on it. I've been in RP's where that's happened and it's stayed well alive afterwards.

And obviously what makes a good or bad GM varies on the kind of RP you're using. Though I will say this, GM's who have not been able to become liked or respected by their players tend to be ones whose days are numbered until either their RP dies or until someone else get's the players favor enough to take over as the GM.
