I had an issue in a game I was in very recently. Obviously the problem was with me, and of course I don't personally agree with the end result, but I wish to know others' opinions

I'm of course ignorant to the rules and semantics of this whole thing :D but... torment isn't psychological by definition, it isn't physical either. It's either or both.
tor·ment /v. tɔrˈmɛnt, ˈtɔrmɛnt; n. ˈtɔrmɛnt/ Show Spelled[v. tawr-ment, tawr-ment; n. tawr-ment] Show IPA -verb (used with object) 1. to afflict with great bodily or mental suffering; pain: to be tormented with violent headaches. 2. to worry or annoy excessively: to torment one with questions. 3. to throw into commotion; stir up; disturb. -noun 4. a state of great bodily or mental suffering; agony; misery. 5. something that causes great bodily or mental pain or suffering. 6. a source of much trouble, worry, or annoyance. 7. an instrument of torture, as the rack or the thumbscrew. 8. the infliction of torture by means of such an instrument or the torture so inflicted.
I would have just posted that and said it was an open invitation, if they weren't happy with it they should learn to be more specific, or speak up if they're unhappy with the result. if you're on a forum that deals with that kind of stuff, and it's that important to keep these things safe, i don't see why you'd be too pussy to speak up. if it was a misunderstanding then the first follow-up post should just be an OOC remark saying "Sorry, I only wanted my mind raped."
Also you can make an effort to pull away without seriously hurting yourself. bitch is just dumb and a little over-dramatic, i'd say. I assume that godmodding is basically leading a person's actions during RP in such a way that they have no response to your actions other than exactly what you're forcing them to do, like, if i lit your hair on fire, ~*within asterisks*~, instead of attempting to light it on fire. Well, uh, wouldn't tormenting a character through telepathy be more prone to that than grabbing their wrist? idk. seems like mind control isn't really something you can just be like "o i let u hav respons even tho wat i du is CONTROL UR MIND" idkz.
