Group roleplays seems to be more understanding of this scenario but in one-on-one's? Oh boy.

"If you're not longer interested in the roleplay, please let me know! Don't flake out and disappear without a word. It's rude to leave me hanging. [b]I won't hold it against you.[/b]"

>Person lets partner know they are withdrawing for their roleplay.
>Partner passive aggressively rants about it on status updates or threads like these.

I think it's more a desire to not hurt the other persons feelings by saying "you've and I have created a very crap story. I want out"

In saying that, group ones can be just as bad. I've made a few RPs where they just didn't play out right and things have happened so I've closed them off. Its harsh as a gm when no one replies too cause you wonder if you've made a big mistake somewhere.
