I don't know about the GM, but it doesn't bother me. I would rather wait a few days for a post than have to figure out how to respond to a half-assed one-- but maybe that's just me. 

I want my character to perceive your character the way you want your character to be perceived. That sounds complicated, but it's the simplest way I can think to phrase it. I myself can tell you're not trying to make Steven an idiot or a jerk, but when things like this happen, I can't in good faith dumb down my character to go along with it. Especially when my character is suppose to be very logical and attentive to detail. I'm hoping you understand where I'm coming from. I'm really not trying to come off as an ass, but it's frustrating.
