I'd just like to share a story.
I play alot of PbP games, and I had this one particular DM. He liked to think he is very knowledgeable in Dnd and hated be g proven wrong.
He went ahead stating something that is wrong. When quietly corrected, he did not try to further examine the issue and just tried to find loophole in the wording to make it still work in his favour.
When given a direct quote from the book, he just completely ignored the issue. Not admitting his mistake, not saying that yes he was wrong but he would like to still rule his way for the sake of the game. And obviously not agreeing to play by the rules.
If the issue was pressed, as in "Hey, we still haven't resolved the rules discussion", he got hostile. Saying either
A) The player should mind their business (if they were pointing out rules that weren't related to their character, but WE'RE wrong nevertheless)
Or
B) Saying that he is the DM and the player should complain less (even though he only pulled this out when he failed to fool the player about how the real rules are)
Does anyone have similar stories to share? DMs or other players that just aren't capable of seeing they are wrong?
