Paul Beakley – I’m trying! I really am. = )

And with more context, I totally agree with you. Like I said in my edit, I fully recognize that some people just shouldn’t play together and that no one should be required to accommodate others to the point that they, themselves, are no longer enjoying the game.

And based on the little you’ve told me of your situation I still believe that having some tools in place would have helped to some degree, if for no other reason, than they help to make a group’s implicit norms more explicit. Hopefully, that would help everyone else realize that the new player is pulling the game away from your norms, will also (hopefully) give people more authority to speak up and say that.
