Banned from PFS

[connor socott]

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.

Sorry for the event that took place, but I feel I need to let you know that Paizo most likely had no say or input in any decision to Ban players. That is normally left to Local Organizers and Venture Captain. If you have issue with your Banning you can bring it up with your Local Venture officer, or Mike Brock who does work for Paizo if you have already gone to your VC.

I know VCs that bring up Bans with Mike have serious issues with those players that usually are after many warnings.

Hi Connor, I understand that you are upset. I recommend that you try talking to your local regional coordinator (you can find them on the list on this page) or emailing Mike Brock, our Global Organized Play Coordinator, at [e-mail]. I'm locking this discussion up at the moment though, since the forums are probably not the most appropriate place for this.
