This isn't tumblr, where something as little as proper capitalization (or lack thereof) can "trigger" someone. Basically, you're saying people shouldn't get annoyed at all.

    Growing a thicker skin means being unable to handle criticism or getting offended over someone calling you stupid on the Internet. It shouldn't be carte blanche.
    With all due respect, I disagree with your assessment. The following is my opinion.

    While the player in question was purposely attempting to disrupt your RP, he/she, in fact, had no method of actually doing so. At worst, they were a distraction and something that ruined your immersion a little bit. Getting irritated by that is fully within your rights, and I'd never say otherwise. However, at the same time, getting irritated over that players actions is also a silly thing to do, given how harmless they were - certainly as harmless as someone calling you stupid on the internet. I think it's a fair assumption that you made this thread due to the irritation this player caused you. If it really did bother you that much, then I do very much believe that you need some thicker skin.

    I'm in no way condoning what that player did. But I do feel that the one that let his/her harmless actions get to you...was you.
