As the noted "murrican political thinker, Dan Quayle, once said:

'It's a terrible thing to lose one's mind."

Apparently there was no change, just several staff including myself weren't reading it properly.

Instead, I'll just apologise again for my hysterical exit from the staff, and I apologise if I've upset anyone in all of this.

Could you stop apologizing already. We get it. You may or may not have made a mistake. You're allowed. No worries! (is that Brit or Aussie?)

This is my understanding of the rule.

It's also normal human behavior. It's a breach of trust if you let third parties in on a private conversation without the other one giving consent.

I'm just gonna not worry about it. I've been so heavily invested in the rules for so long, it's a relief not to have to concern myself anymore.

I mean, the rule must cover discussing the contents of conversations and not just quoting them word for word; or else I can tell everyone about a forum PM by summarising it.

If that's the case, I'm happy going forward. I'll let the past be a mystery.

Whoops double post. I can't delete it myself anymore! I'm a pleb!

Rob, you really are a good guy. It doesn't matter what happened, I am just glad you are back. As for the staff, don't worry, my reign of terror has just begun

Thank you very much

I'm glad too. It's been weird being apart from this place.

Look on the bright side. At least you're not a bleb!

In any case, Rob - I'm glad you're back.
