So, I went to the Warhouse last Sunday with my wife and kids to play a game of Pathfinder. What happened instead was 4 hours of being harassed and talked to with great disrespect and derision by the GM, Jacqui Dorrough. I put up with this harassment in what I thought was a patient manner until she turned her gaze on my wife. She then spent a solid two minutes berating her for not knowing how a spell she had never used before worked.
For those of you who know me, I do not tolerate people making my wife cry with malicious intent. I stood up, packed my dice, and told her off in the exact tone she had been using. The problem is that when you are 6'6" and 350lbs, you aren't allowed to get upset. I learned this tonight when I found out that the leadership of Southern California Pathfinder Society decided to ban me from PFS play.
Needless to say, I am intensely disappointed that they would come to this decision without asking for my input or allowing me to defend my actions.
I am also disappointed in Paizo, for banning me from their convention for defending my wife from a vicious verbal assault. I had previously been a devout supporter of Paizo and their mission. Unfortunately, this loyalty seems to be a one way street. I doubt very much I will be giving them any money in the future.

I would like to cancel my pathfinder battles subscription.

Great!
Now all we need is a GM

I would definitely want to join in. Scenario play is fun, but I like the feeling of a group that consistently works together, as well as a long cohesive story.

To me, this issue is covered explicitly in the Guide for organised play.

Do Not Bully Other Players

We’re all friends here, and we’re all playing a game together
with the single purpose of having a wonderful time. Do not
push other players around just because your character can.
Extreme forms of dysfunctional play will not be tolerated.
A little fun banter between PCs can be great roleplaying,
but when you find yourself doing everything in your power
to make another character look like an idiot or to undo
everything that character is trying to accomplish, you’ve
probably lost sight of the purpose of Pathfinder Society
Organized Play and may be asked to leave the table. Playing
your character is not an excuse for childish behavior. GMs
should work with their event coordinators to resolve any outof-
game conflicts. If you are both the GM and the coordinator,
use your own discretion. Extreme or repetitive cases should
be resolved by asking the offender to leave the table.

I love this class. The only real issue i have is: For a supposedly DPS class, There are remarkably few talents that work with Sneak Attack.

I don't foresee getting much sleep next week. I have at least 10 new characters to create and advance.

About 5 minutes. I was just sad their Human fighter wasn't around (he missed the session because his daughter took his car.)The Paladin was playing Naive, and she was all like: Why would another female want to kiss me? I'm so confused. I can't wait to find out her reaction to Aldern's advances.

In the game I'm GMing, the only males were a tiefling alchemist who wore a plague doctor's mask and never left the Cathedral after the attacks (Virtue point!) and a cloistered Dwarf who wielded a long-axe and constantly accused people of trying to steal his fungus. So she tried to seduce the female elven pali. The chaste paladin resisted her advances, but Shayliss rolled high on a cmb and grappled her. About this time, the urban ranger makes a knowledge local and realizes that the elf walked away with the town bike. She and the other dwarf rush after them. Vin Busts in as the elf tries to get Shayliss off of her and starts bellowing. One failed diplomacy later, he's about to pick the elf up and in bursts the two dwarfs. The long axe dwarf accused shayliss of being a "stealerofbabiesstealerofthefungusthatbringslife" and Vin charges him... provoking an AoO (A Crit) and knocking him out in one hit.
