Replied to someone's search thread, gave a pitch based on their idea, was told said pitch is awesome, waited for them to start.

INCIDENT 1: Got told to start because *I* went to them with the idea and *they* have work to do, called out their attitude and bid farewell, person apologised, swept it under rug and we setup.

Rolled a few posts, realized something not discussed about npc relationships, confronted person if it's to force the pairing together quickly and iterated I'm no pushover, got told I talk to them like crap from incident 1 (?!?!).

Explained to person if you don't like something you bring it up and not throw surprises at someone that disrupts their npc THEN I bid farewell politely, other person goodbye'd and promptly made a public note somewhere about my apparent tyranism.

I can't even.

Now I don't trust people who compliment how my derived plots are anything appealing when I reply their searches. ಠ_ಠ In case another one accuses me of bullying them into accepting.

Without context, I cannot really give any valuable perspective on this – but I’ve had similar hurdles with 1x1’s. I once was inactive for a week or two and the person dropped the RP framing me as the villain with passive aggression and guilt trip tactics aimed towards me. The only thing I was guilty of was not communicating I was taking a little longer to write a follow-up post. Chance has it, that person blacklisted me from RP possibilities including them in the future. It was a kind of shit scenario.

Not at all your problem, but it seems that you being direct was misinterpreted as abrasiveness… for reasons unknown. Again I don’t know the context, but based on our brief conversations I cannot imagine you being tyrannical or mean-spirited.
