Dear E/everyone, I really appreciate your responses, everyone. Now that I have been vindicated, I guess I 'll tell you what happened. I did tell the guy once or twice that he was stepping out of line, but he changed the topic of the conversation around so that I was more comfortable with it. I was appeased a little, but I still had my concerns. I told my play partner about it later and she said little in response to my concerns, but seemed to be in deep thought over it. I let it go, because I knew that she would not proceed with anything until she had worked out her own issues with it all. The next day she told me that in addition to the fact that he was now suggesting something she had already vetoed, the counter-domination attempt was something that she didn't appreciate and would not be playing with him at this time. Still cool for conversations, but no play. And I don't hold a grudge against the guy, I just don't feel comfortable letting her play with him whether I'm there or not. It just sets off my paranioa too much. Please don't get me wrong, the guy is a blast to talk to, I just don't respect him enough to let him see either of us naked, if you know what I mean. I still talk to him on occasion, as does she. And to his credit, at the first sign of hesitation on her part, he conceded control. I just wish he'd had the same respect for me, although respect for her was my primary concern, so we're all good. I've heard a lot of things about him since, but I still like the guy. I don't know how many times I've typed this line out on these boards, but I'm going to do it again, because it illustrates my point: "Hey, I don't trust him either, but he is my friend." --Han Solo, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back And he is my friend. I probably wouldn't feel this apprehensive if I'd known him longer or had met him in person before these negotiations started, but that was not possible under the circumstances at the time. Should the situation change in the future and he prove to me that this is not a persisting issue, we may someday play with him. I just wanted to put this question out there to see if I'd done the right thing, or had I made an ass of myself for being paranoid. I would like to thank everyone again for the words of support, but don't be too hard on this guy, because despite my discomfort, he still behaved honorably. Sincerely, Lord Vandal Heart P.S. - Just so everyone knows, I will not be disclosing his identity, so please do not ask.
