At the end of the day though, if Bob doesn't want X situation having a major impact on his character because playing it out is going to make him loathe playing it then that's that. End of discussion. How and if you interact with Bob from there on out is your call.
It's sounds like you're citing a particular situation without directly citing it. A lot of these situations have small details and nuances that you can really only factor in properly when knowing all the details so I'm not sure you're going to get the feedback you want here as it exactly pertains to this situation.
What happened here could span the gambit from Bob feeling like he wasn't communicated with to others saying Bob just doesn't like consequences for his actions. The folk involved just need to communicate and work that out among themselves and I think that's the best advice anyone can give.
After reading this thread that's pretty much my opinion. This is my first time attempting to do MMO based RP and seeing this mentality of 'anything you write in /say is fair game for anyone' honestly makes me never want to use /say. I can only assume it's due to the prevalence of walk up RP where in most of my previous communities that wasn't exactly a thing.
If I post a thread in a public forum and clearly label it as closed does that mean you should be able to jump in? The forum is public and everyone can see it, after all.
If I decide to run my D&D campaign at a game store does that mean you can drop a sheet and a mini on the table, pull up a chair, and announce that you are joining the campaign? I should be running the game at my house if I want to be private, right?
I honestly do believe that if you want something to be private you should keep it to /party or /tell but who am I to tell someone how they should be RPing. If someone wants to discuss their black market dealings using /say in the Quicksand without the Brass Blades/Immortal Flames/whoever arresting them then they have every right to even if people disagree with it. You never know why someone doesn't want you involved.
