It is unreasonable to get offended when someone is not interested in playing exactly the way you intended them t, sure. If you didn't communicate your plans to them properly, then fine, but I think it shouldn't be an issue where you worry someone else will take the harm to their character personally. It is totally legitimate to be disappointed if someone has said directly to you "we are gonna do this plan" and then scrap it with out showing them the courtesy of letting them know. That has nothing to do with bleed.
Believe me, it's got nothing to do with RPC's bleed paranoia. Â I'm just a man who's seen this kind of thing blow up before, and I recognize the symptoms. Â The best laid plans can blow up, and that's just what happens. Â If we wanted otherwise, we'd be writing books, not roleplaying with other people. Â I think the moment that you're legitimately worried about someone's OOC reaction to an IC issue, there's a problem somewhere.
Like I said, no one has to take me seriously, but that's the kind of thing that would absolutely be sending up a red flag for me. Â Either I need to check myself or someone else. Â Bleed is a problem, and if you don't take care of it early, it can get much, much worse.
