   Ok, so there I am, role playing with another character when all of the sudden Bran shows up. Now
    everyone knows how this story will end, Bran takes a swing at me. So, naturally I swing back
    and suddenly he starts yelling OOC that it's an OOC joke and I should stop. I decide not to
    push it, and after my queue runs out I leave him be.  After this Bran decides to leave the area
    and heal himself, returning just a few moments later.  Once again he stars swinging. This time
    I assume he's trying to be cute OOC again so I don't fight back, until he KO's me, because I'm
    fatigued at this point, and takes several of my items. I ask him why and he tells me that
    someone hired him to do it. I mention that this he already claimed that this was supposed to
    all be OOC and he shrugs and leaves. I will say to his credit that he didn't take everything I
    had. That however does not excuse bad role playing. I let him go because I believed him to be
    joking around. By the end of my queue he was KO'd on the ground, I didn't take anything of his
    and left him alone. He however decided to take it personally. I understand that I have to deal
    with it because I was in the game world and IC but he should learn to differentiate between IC
    and OOC himself. Several people suggested that I post something to see what others think, so
    here you are. If you have any ideas feel free to page me or send a message to me.  I hope
    you'll forgive the spamminess of this post, and the cynicism involved. 
Thanks.
Happy Mooing
