Whoa, hang on, where did this come from?

The disgruntled look where I was referring to was on MY face - me, the
player - when I knew that the sensible course of action was A), but my
character wanted to do B) and would not be gainsaid.

GMs don't come into it.

The rest of your (long) response was preaching to the choir as far as I'm
