No one ever responded to my previous post in this thread (bringing dinner for everyone) and I can understand why many wouldn't want to. A few of you talked to me about it personally. Anyway, don't feel obligated to take me up on that offer if it makes anyone uncomfortable.

Bringing dinner isn't really want this post is about. I just wanted to tie up that loose end before jumping in. As all of you know, I don't like dirty humor. There are a number of reasons for it but suffice it to say that I'm susceptible to it and I simply don't like the environment it creates. I gather that most of you are comfortable with it and in some cases even prefer it over other forms of humor. I really don't want to be a nuissance that makes anyone uncomfortable. For that reason, I've chosen to stop gaming on several occasions.

This last year or so, the side conversation in gaming has cleaned up significantly and I greatly appreciate that. Honestly. Thank you. Occasionally I find the humor is still a little off color but I thank you nonetheless.

I made no official announcement but I was planning on dropping from Jeremy's campaign and the group altogether. I've been a bit frustrated because it seems that dirty humor is inevitable. It's true that things are much better but, even so, I still hear some disturbing comments from time to time. When I discussed this with a few of you, it was brought to my attention that many of you might not know what even offends me. I've never actually addressed it during play. I simply make vague comments between sessions and expect each of you to understand. That's not really fair.

I enjoy gaming a lot. I enjoy gaming with this group a lot. I enjoy the social aspects of it, too. If we can all have fun and be comfortable as we game then that's precisely what I want to do. If anyone is uncomfortable because of me, or if I'm uncomfortable because of anyone else, then I'd prefer not to play.

Jason's campaign is coming up and I'm planning to play in it. Lisa may play in it, too. I may also continue playing in Jeremy's campaign. I suppose that has more to do with when it ends than anything else. Anyway, assuming it's ok with each of you, I'll address the dirty comments as they come up so everyone can know right where I stand. I'm open to hearing some comments, thoughts, and advice.

Thanks everyone for putting up with me. I'm sorry I've been such a bum. This really is important to me so I've made a big issue out of it. Thank you.
