Perhaps, but parroting someone like that is also its own special form of rudeness you know.
In any case, I agree that I overstated my point because I was mainly considering the scenario that often happens to me: Someone in suddenly injured in an otherwise normal battle and, for some undisclosed reason, the white mage's magic is no longer able to cure a common battle injury.

I don't think it's a cure-all. For battle wounds from dungeons and the common cold, sure. For dealing with the aftermath of an intense battle between PCs, surely not.

Hehe, I assure you I don't make my displeasure known in-game. I'll try to steer things in another direction, and if that doesn't work then I'll mosey my way out.

I guess there are two different ways to look at this.
Some people view RP scenarios as a compromise: One person wants to do A and the other wants to do B, so they meet half-way and do something in the middle.
I view RP scenarios as something better based on the intersection of two people's interests: One person wants to do A, B and C and the other wants to do C, D, and E, so they just suck it up and stick to C. In the case of something like a battle injury, if it's clear that the other person isn't interested I'd just drop it. I would not expect them to meet me half way just because I decided to initiate something they're not interested in.
