(Obviously that wasn't the case but it's where my perspective was when writing). I didn't understand why but figured that since it would be his character that would be killed off if it came to that I had no real reason to oppose it.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Yeah, my basic understanding of what's going is that neither you nor lockepick were ever actively trying to antagonize one another.  You were each posting what you thought was an appropriate, calm response for your characters, and then the other person wound up misunderstanding and taking it completely differently from what you had intended.  It's just one of those little miscommunications that occasionally happens over the internet, when the person you're playing with isn't right beside you and you don't have the option of reading their body language to figure out what they're trying to do.
