I don't think you understood what I was saying, so I'll say it a little more clearly: I don't like being told to do things. That would make this into a chore. If I don't find it fun anymore, I leave. If someone tries to make it a chore, I leave. As it wasn't the GM, I'm staying. I wasn't dragging it down. It could easily keep going without me, as it had for several posts. So yes, what you were doing [i]was[/i] pushing me away and discouraging me posting. As for what you said about me "straight up refusing to post," the same sentiment applies: you guys could go on without me. My character is in no way vital to the story, not even that of your character. All my character has done is show up, climb on the thing, and jump down. In no way is my character required to that plot. Now, however, I will have to post, as my characters interaction is directly related to the current events and hasn't been said in a previous post. So please don't automatically assume everyone reacts the same way to nagging. Edit: ^ This is me improperly venting fear, by the way. My aunt is in the hospital. I'm distracting myself with this. Edit 2: Today just hasn't been a good day in general. My words may have come across as more harsh than normal because of that. If so, I apologize, but I'm not going to edit what it says, because it's still true, just not worded as...nicely.
