When that one idiot who thinks the perfectly healthy roleplay isn't going fast enough for his or her ridiculous standard and asks the question "Is this roleplay about to die?"

There is no question with as much negative energy. Usually it starts a cycle of negative energy making everyone not feel like posting anymore for varying reasons and then it dies... because that guy asked if the roleplay is about to die.

What I wrote may or may not be accurate, but I'm always so irritated when the hyper-active player suddenly asks if the roleplay is about to die when it was perfectly healthy and then IT GOES AND DIES STRAIGHT AFTER. Has happened at least two times. Three, I think. Geesh, that question annoys me.

Sometimes that hyper-active player is the GM. Then it's even worse. Because if the GM is the one feeling the doubt, it immediately spreads to everyone, no matter if they felt inspired by the roleplay or not.
