I see lots of people looking for advice on being a good player or a good DM.
I have had sessions where the whole party laughed, had fun, begged for more. I have had amazing players, I have had amazing DMs, I have been called a great DM, taught many great DMs and had much success in this wonderful style of gaming.
Then I go online and I share these experiences with the internet in many places, not just here but also facebook groups, reddit, etc. and had the internet poo poo all over our fun amazing experience. I shared my groups laughter, our amazing time, our wildly successful session and campaign, and it gets replies of "that sounds terrible", "I would never play with you", "that being a bad player", "that's being a bad DM".
I would say the bottom line is, there is no style of of play or player that will satisfy everyone, the barometer for a perfect game, player, or DM is the fun people have.
In short, have fun with your group, don't overly focus on being a perfect player or DM, but react to your player group, do what's best for them be you player or DM, and just share in the fun experience that this game has to offer.
