My guy syndrome, huh.
I don't have easy access to the Forge just now so I can't provide any references, but as far as I recall it just means dodging responsibility for being a crappy player (meaning socially disruptive) by blaming your character for your crappy behavior.
"My guy totally screws everyone over and stabs them in the back." "The hell? You just ruined the game for us, this isn't that kind of game and you know it. If you don't want to play anymore, just say so." "Hey I'm just playing my guy!"
(As usual, the internet caught hold of this and turned it on its head, crying "I have my guy do what my guy would do, and now that makes me a crappy player? You GNS people are insane elitists who killed my dog!")
