Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.

Felt like sharing it here because I’m sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.

      Way too harsh there.

      What if someone wants to be a cripple? Wouldn’t healing them ruin their self esteem?

      Your earlier comment was not “what if someone wants to role-play a cripple?” If it was meant to mean that, I don’t understand the relevance of healing hurting their self esteem. Whose self-esteem? The player’s, or the character’s?

      The response made sense by querying why would a character want to be crippled, not why a player would find it interesting to do so.
