2WARNING: I get a little into it. So take it with a grain of salt.

I forgot to mention that it's am emotional trip to tell someone they're playing their dude wrong, the game wrong, and that they should feel ashamed for cheating.
Great way to play a social funtime good game, peeps.
Or that knowledge in DND games in general is a giant clusterfuck of psychology not worth the hassle.
My biggest problem is that nobody, ever, goes "Man, am I glad I stopped Fred from metagaming. Would've solved that problem and stopped the Rogue from dying."
Also, most GMs that throw a fit are just butthurt and need to accept that PCs are the protagonists, not their little shitfest of a monster house.
