True, and I admitted that my mail was perhaps badly worded, but I was ticked off and being bombarded with mail from every side, as well as dealing with a computer which was crashing every 2 minutes. No excuse for not considering that some people are snesitive, I know, but meh.
However, I think it's unfair that Im being judged on what I said in a neomail which has been posted up here behind my back when I was respectful enough to not do the same to sylence (added to which, how do you guys know that mail hasn't been tweeked? It hasn't, I'll tell you that much, but it could have been and you all would have been prepared to hang me on that, Im sure, without any proof). I could easily have posted her mail to me up here and you'd see how she was anything but friendly too, but I refuse to do that. I think it's wrong.
Also remember that as far as Im concerned, nothing has been cleared up.
I still don't know wether she was trying to sell my account or not. For all I know, and yes, for all YOU know, she could have been.
You all seem to have decided she's innocent based on the fact that she's your friend, theres nothing else TO base it on. Thats all very well and good but remember, no one really knows. I certainly don't. And I don't believe or disbelieve her. Both options seem entirely plausible to me.
I have nothing against her as a person right now because I don't know wether what she's accused of is true. I just wish things would have been cleared up over neomail rather than dragged out onto a forum that sylence maybe assumed I wouldn't come on or see. I feel like Im back at school and people whisper behind each other's backs or go running to their social group for support when someone upsets them but you only ever hear their side of things.
I feel slightly disrespected that rather than mailing me further, even if they initially had to be nasty mails, to clear it up, sylence came on here and essentially blabbed about me behind my back, giving only her view and making me out to look like the big bad wolf. Sure, I got the chance to defend myself because someone alerted me to this thread.
But if they hadn't, you'd all still be sitting her forming opinions on me without ever hearing my side of things. I still don't know why sylence thought her questions would be answered better here by people this has nothing to do with than by mailing me directly but *shrug*
And people saying things like 'it's sad when you have to turn off neomails' etc, as if Im some sort of stupid harrassing newbie and the plague of neopia. You certainly are quick to judge here, some of you.
Had we exchanged further mails, I can guaruntee you this would have been sorted out by now. I don't like to drag this crap out, who does? and in actual fact, prior to being blocked by her, I was going to reply asking her if she knew the username in question and wether she had someone out to get her. I never had the chance to do that. Thats what bothers me.
Anyone here who knows me (that'll be just huggles then probably) would likely testify that I am firm with my words. I don't suagr coat. More senstive people fairly often get upset by my words online but if you know me, you know that Im not getting personal, I just don't like to mess about. If something needs to be said, say it outright.
Again, I don't really know where this thread is expected to go.
Without proof either way, Im never to know wether sylence did infact do what she's accused of. And if no-one will ever know then how can this ever be resolved?
Sylence, you say you don't really want an apology, and thats good because Im not giving one untill I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you didn't do it. Even if I found out that you didn't do it, I still don't think I should apologise for trying to protect my account. Others would have done the same. And really, all I did 'wrong' was that my mail was a little too harsh, I did nothing more. You, however, actually reported me, endangering my account. I feel I might even be owed an apology for this blatant over-reaction.
I will apologise for the wording of my mail if it upset you and will make you feel better, though I generally despise having to apologise for my feelings.
And Im not petty enough to demand an apology from you for your words or your blocking and refusing to sort this out. It doesn't worry me. Water off a duck's back. If I hadn't seen this thread, I'd have forgotten about the whole thing! But the fact that you put my account in danger by reporting me for something I view as really not report-worthy bothers me a lot.
But if this thread is to become nothing more than a 'we know sylence so we'll back her up regardless, we don't know you so we'll all judge and flame you' type thing, then I have no time for it. I know it's natural, it happens on all forums and I've even done it before, but I don't want to be involved in it if it happens here. Im happy to converse with sylence over PM or neomail if she unblocks it, but really, I think we're the only two people who should be involved in this matter.
Getting others involved, particularly biased folk, is looking a little too much like a witch hunt to me and I won't be a part of it.
Thanks.
