Nah, Tick. Brovo's not saying 'don't criticize' me. Although I'm not sure I agree methods=character. Methods are just as much a result of environment, and with that in mind...yeah, like I said earlier, I can certainly see where Brovo's coming from here. Being a GM can be frustrating. Being a GM with standards can make you want to set death traps for players you're certain are only going to waste your time. But perception=reality, and questioning the morality of someone's method could be seen as a question to their character.Did I know Brovo might take some offense? Yes. Did it stop me from calling the method uncool? Obviously not. Varying perceptions. I think the GM method in question is uncool, but not that big a deal. I'd feel the same way if it was Dervish or Jorick presenting the method, Brovo.Are some of my GM methods screwed? Probably. lol No one's perfect.

Ruby about covered the bases for that.

I will add that I don't think I was saying that I was defending my posts for being "not offensive", simply saying that I wasn't personally attacking you as a person. As others have mentioned, it's quite alright to call out something you find questionable that someone says or does while still respecting them as a person. Plus, you clarified what you meant to say. All is good! Healthy discussion and all that is good. I didn't think this was a big ego bashing snark fest full of insults and personal attacks. It was a good discussion. 

Closing remarks?
