The problem is, there's this implication that I'm allowing it to bother me, like asking people to stop antagonizing me is some act of aggression. And I don't think of it that way. I honestly couldn't give a rat's furry little back side what people do with the time they pay for. If they want to get naked and dance on tables for 6 days straight they're well within their rights to do so, and it's not my place to tell them they can't.
However, I expect a certain amount of respect and civility from people, and I don't believe there's anything wrong with asking for that. And in situations where the harassment goes beyond simple disruption and into the realm of vulgarity, I'm completely within my rights as a consumer to report them for violations of the terms of service, which they have agreed to abide.
The thing is, griefing is a problem. And problems don't go away by ignoring them.
I think we're from two different books.
I don't EXPECT anyone to respect me at all. If I want respect, I EARN it. I earn my respect from non-rpers by being non combative and not thinking I AM BETTER THAN THEM. I will not tell them how to play just as much as I won't let them tell me.
Anyway, that's my 2 gil. This is obviously just going to go back and forth and eventually make me angry so I'll withdraw from the thread. I think it's wrong that you advocate anything other than self-empowerment, but hey maybe you're more comfortable thinking people OWE you something.
