I don't believe "irksome" or "frustrating" translates to "infuriated" Serge, and certainly not on Heroes' part. He always says exactly what he means. Nor do I think that it falls under Heroes' GM expectations alone, or some overblown standard of RPers in general, to ask that people either post within a reasonable timeframe or when they say they will, or if that's not possible? To speak with the GM personally via a PM, or let all the players know in the OOC if they cannot.[b]Telling someone "I'm sorry you find my words/actions annoying" is very much the same thing as saying "I'm sorry you misunderstood me" - basically a non-apology apology that implies "too bad you're too dumb to get what I'm saying here." [/b]When I read your first OOC post, the impression that Heroes got is exactly the same one I had too. That may or may not have been the impression you were trying to give in either of your two previous posts, but one should always put far more consideration into text-only communication.And for what it's worth, for some of the folks around here there isn't a single new thing you can add concerning the topic of depression - and certainly not the clinical kind. It's no joke. But if you're insistent you find something within to pull out, then I imagine Gabe - left to his own devices by God to make his way in the world, and try to carve out what society he can - might feel crushed by the weight of his new responsibilities, or desperate to prove that he can be an asset to this new group of people he has suddenly been thrust into. Rather emotional moments, but again, ymmv.Post if you wish, or don't, as you will. I saw nothing in Heroes' post that said you were being kicked out. Personally? I'm just looking forward to having the story go forth, and creating our little tale here with some of the very best writers (and people :) ) I know. And that's really the whole point of this, from beginning to end - the fun in the process!

I agree with everything you've said here aside from the bolded portion. My choice of the word infuriated is probably misused, and I can see how it might be an issue. 

The issue I take with the bolded portion is that my apologies were meant to be heartfelt. While you are correct that they imply that I perceive Hero's response to be made through misunderstanding, they are by no means suggesting that I find him to be dumb. Nor do I believe my statements to be above his understanding. Really, I believe that this entire issue has been born from misunderstanding. 

I'm sure you understand, Igraine, that I have a deep respect for this story and the collaborative spirit of this RP because we've worked together on a post. I only hope my enthusiasm shined through there. 

I really don't want this little problem to cause any disturbance in the OOC. PM me if you need to.

At the risk of looking like a desperate fool, sorry again.
