Bonus Episode 91 - the things we tolerate

* (0:23) Who is Amy? * (1:07) Why do we tolerate so much bad behavior at our gaming tables? Separating this topic from what one might encounter during public games (e.g. conventions, organized play). * (8:41) Friendships aren’t transitive. Also, perhaps we put up with the bad because it’s less than the good the same person brings. * (10:37) Opinions are identity. * (11:37) Hating confrontation while thriving on the drama. * (18:36) People are a bank. * (24:41) Social vampires that draw something they need from healthy groups. * (27:49) Issues of socialization. The cycle of abuse, and the dispensability (or indispensability) that comes from the number of friends you have. * (35:26) Being around too many people that are a lot like you. * (43:58) People are attracted to hobbies because they “fit” them, and ours is a hobby of ideas. * (50:18) “That’s the Game Master’s problem!” * (52:33) The mistake of not handling the issue.
