I am going to try and explain this as it has been explained to me first.
On Wed early afternoon I went to the doctor to have my leg checked and cast changed. During said time I was one given a strong dose of a pain killer to help deal with my leg being re injured. The doctor them prescribed a new medication for me to begin taking when I got home. Early thurs morn I was admitted to the emergency room and later that morning I was told I was given the wrong pills by said doctor and that i had a reaction to it. Some sort of chemical imbalance or such. They say this caused me to behave in an erratic manner or such. This is what I have been told. What I feel is this is an excuse. Yes I did begin to act strangely, but in the context of here I was able to see this enough to know that I was acting strangely in game and leave it before doing something inappropriate. For some reason I did however come in here thinking it was somehow safer. I should have not. I remember the things described by me above but I did not seem to take them as I had.
In the first two instances one where a gm who is no longer here and asking a question during a event and receiving only a question in reply it was simply situations of being confused by the way those things were handled. As for this last one. I do not understand myself why I reacted remembered or stated the instance as I did. At the time it occurred I thought as I do now it was simply a mistake brought on by my answering a question and nothing more. Not some sort of whatever I was stating at the time of the posting. In reading it for some reason I had made it into much more then that can only apologize for what I had said during that time. Again I have in this only a excuse. I would say this whole thing is silly and stupid but it caused a problem so it requires I do something to try and deal with and clear it up. Again I do apologize to Rayne if you feel targeted or insulted, Colibri for having to put up with and anyone else who sat through reading any of this. I can only say that this does not represent what I think is normal behavior in style or substance except perhaps in verboseness.
Also I understand my sister logged into the game thurs to take care of my plants and also may have said more then she should in game on my condition. If any of that was wrong or caused a problem of any sort that is completely my fault. I had attempted to make a joke when being admitted of asking her to feed my cat and take care of my plants while I was gone. This is the first chance I have had to come in here and look at and deal with whatever problems I might have created but now I need to deal with a problem in the real world it created also.
Some of this has been in the back of my mind for a while.

/shrug stuff happens. If nothing else maybe some other folks can gather a little insight into how staff works without having to be here for a long time first heh.

Good to know, well sorry to hear about your health problems. I hope you're all better by now, or at least that you will be soon.

Re: Some of this has been in the back of my mind for a while.
Just a quick note, I was also online for alot of the gold scam wait, I logged out for a couple hours, and then came back. No one was answering questions, I assumed, it was because they had all answered them 200 times each.
I was quiet, until I saw a GM post that they were attmpting to prevent a revert, but nothing had been decided yet. then they poofed again, obviously back at work.. in the meantime, 50 more people logged in and every single one of them asked, Revert? Did we revert? Are we gonna have a revert? Can we Play yet? Is everything back to normal yet? Did they get all the gold back or are we gonna have a revert? YAY no revert, glad thats over with! even though it wasnt over yet.... at which point, I started answering, with the SAME THING i saw the GM post, just to inform those people logging in. Someone else was also posting the same answer... and it seems funny, that 400 questions can be asked with no answers, yet as soon as a couple people start answering them = we get told to stop. Kile May have been that other person, I do not remember. And, it made me feel... abused i guess is the word, for trying to help, simply by passing along the same information that we had gotten... however, I have plenty of experience with a private shard, and know when to shut up, so I did. I stopped trying to answer the questions,, and after about 20 more unanswered questions being repeated over and over by people who were getting increasingly angry because no one would answer them.. i logged out.
When i came back all was right in the world again.
Feeling, Upset about it? nope. I have been there, trying to fix a problem, with people PMing me, asking on chat and generally driving me nutz.. so i know Exactly how frustrating it is. I have also learned from my Wife over the years.. when she is frustrated, aggrivated and out of patience.. DO NOT try to help, go find a corner to curl up in and wait, preferably, a soft corner, one that you can chew your way through........ if you wake up to the sound of a chansaw starting.........
