> Ok. I dont EVER go onto Irc. Ever. And I will tell you why by giving you an example, and even if this only happens once in a blue moon, all of the other good that may come out of it would be over shadowed and make the irc become of no good use whatsoever.

> Tonight GRALLON was chasing a criminal and had him trapped, so GRALLON was trying to egg him into rage so he would become hitable. This is who Grallon is. So this makes GRALLON unliked by the CRIMINAL and his FRIENDS who GRALLON is trying to egg on. Notice I did not say I, because GRALLON is not me. GRALLON does these things to serve the law, and of course those against the law at any point will not like GRALLON as a person.

> Well, I was given to know in the game by someone who was also on Irc, that one of the people who I had just had an extended encounter with was trashing grallon on irc.
> Can anyone see anything wrong with this?
> First, I appreciate the heads up from the person who let me know, although the ooc out of nowhere broke my concentration on the Role Grallon plays and I had to step out of the Game so I did not break role as Grallon.

> Here is why it is wrong. A PERSON, who's CHARACTER has had a negative interaction, totally in line with both of our rp's, takes this enmity between CHARACTERS, and turns it into slander in an OOC forum. "How" you ask, "can this affect Grallon in a bad way?". Well, by bringing an in Char grudge, and turning it into ooc slander, you poison those other unfortunate souls who are sucked in by the unholyness that is IRC against Grallon. And, no offence to people in general, but if you know human nature, you will know that given a negative second hand report of someone(true or not) seventy five percent of a populous will refuse to make their own judgement based on experience. (This is why mud slinging is popular in campaigns, but this is another story).

> Now, I could come to irc and tell you why I think that because they did what they did in a certain way, they broke their own chosen rps, and thus should be smeared, if anything in self defence, but I choose to ignore the low road, and instead bring to light the negative side of a chat room that allows this sort of blatant 'ic'to'ooc' slander possible, and I hope that none of you who were there to witness the slander, true or not, will base future ic interactions with my char GRALLON on them even in small part.

> Forgive the rant, and the somewhat stream of consciousness grammar, I am a bit perturbed that schtuff like this goes on.
