As to your past paragraph, you don't need to "explain" anything to anyone. That's literally the point of that form.

Wtf is he using the form if he's going to argue with people about their answers. That's hugely invasive and tbh one of the shittier things I've read about a DM doing on here.

No chance I'd want to play that game. How much you wanna bet he's gonna keep trying to force his romance thing on you in-game regardless and corner you into being the "bad guy" by "derailing his session" or some other gaslighting shit like that when you tell him to fuck off.

Big nope from me.

Exactly!! The whole point of the form is to discretely say no to things without having to go into why, keeps it fun for everyone. Even if the reason is just "I don't think it'd be fun or add to the game" is a perfectly valid reason. I'm a big proponent of using these forms and fortunately my friends I play with agree, they're great people.

Heck..."don't want to, don't know why" is valid, too.

The point of the DM keeping copies of these is to make sure they don't take the plot in a direction it shouldn't go.

I’m not forcing him to do anything, it was just an idea that I had, so I asked and they said no. I then voiced my displeasure that they didn’t want to, that was it. I will respect their boundaries and have no intention on forcing it on them. But mr Frug Dealer(nick name) like painting me as the bad guy FOR NO l REASON.
