I never said right. Just mightier.
It's proper for you to draw a line on your own behavior. I draw much the same line on mine. That doesn't change the fact that ultimately, each of us individually holds the game hostage. The GM's authority depends, not on itself or on the rulebook, but on you. It depends on you holding that line, granting your assent moment by moment, going along with authority, not defying it.
I'm just saying back to you what you said to me! If you can't see it, I'm stumped.
