[quote=@Rilla]To me? it means I'm not going to subject myself to a GM who has already shown their irrationality in the example of kicking me for no reason. I can catch up with those fine folks anytime, but why go back to a game where the GM doesn't want me there, and could (likely would) come up with ways to continually mess with me? [/quote] [i]You[/i] don't have to. To each their own, no? As for me, I am both patient and thick-skinned*, and trying to copy over and somehow resolve potentially hundreds of IC-posts containing the existing story-line, trying to regroup [i]all[/i] members of the RP somewhere else (who'll either have to take up two RPs with the same characters or abandon one of them), [i]et cetera, et cetera,[/i] is often more work than putting up with a GM who might or might not do something irrational in the future. * I do sometimes call people out when they are being hostile towards me in the form of "Hey, that was not appreciated; please cut it out.", but mostly only when I figure they might actually be a decent people who just stepped over the line a bit; otherwise I mostly just ignore jabs at me and only interfere if others are being targeted, and then it is often either just a dry request to remove the offending comment or a final warning before some higher authority will be summoned.
