dear fellow RPer...
...how do I put this delicately? No, wait, I don't.
I don't need your bloody permission to deliver an IC smackdown when your character is being pissy toward mine. I assume that right, okay? Also, while I realize that my boy isn't exactly the life and soul of our little adventuring party (in fact, I feel like by making him more likely to show interest in others' issues than talk about his own I may have made him pretty damn interchangeable as far as the rest of the group is concerned) it's disingenuous to assume that nobody would've addressed him by name in your presence even once over several weeks of travelling together.
Unless we're going by Victorian notions of proper manners in which you're not *really* introduced to someone unless they've slobbered on your hand and recited their lineage back 3 generations, but honestly.
