Ziroc, your assesment of my posts is correct, sadly enough. Sometimes I post something that people read the wrong way. I am glad to see that I am not alone in this illness, as Reeka's post was misunderstood by me and those that I represented in my post. Your last post spelled this out, as you brought to the light that Reeka was referring to "one" person who brags about giving money, yet does not. I did not understand that from Reeka's message and therefore assumed that she was talking about knowing about the givings of every single member who had ever asked to remain private. This was the reasoning of my "second" post.

To everyone at Ironworks and The Silver River:
It is my first post that is mostly in question, and in it, I am being accused of calling Reeka a liar. People that read the post so fast that they did not understand what I had wrote thought that I was saying that Reeka was lying about donating the money. I never wrote that, nor implied it in any way, so all of this hassle and rage from the members of The Silver River was mostly unjustified.

Let me explain.

I thought that it would be silly of Ziroc to allow such a person that would donate soooo much money to this website to be bullied by an "unknown assailant". This mysterious evil person was said to be the cause of Ziroc losing his best source of income to the website donations, and who had probably given as much money into the Ironworks project as the owner himself...so I found it hard to believe that Ziroc would allow Reeka to be lost.

My exact words were,

"Since this has not happened, I am inclined to not believe your story."

Notice that this is one sentence. The first phrase, "Since this has not happened". What am I referring to here? The money? No.
I am referring to the fact that the mystery meanie has not been banned.

I thought I knew Ziroc well enough to know that he would not allow somebody to "stalk" you, and remain hidden from the moderators' eyes. Therefore, I drew judgement that it must not be true, because the person is still here and I do not know who it is to be able to stop him.

Therefore, I publically apologize to you, Reeka, for doubting your word that somebody on this forum was hassling you. I wish that it was not so, and wish that you could remain to continue your support to Ziroc, who obviously is a close friend of your's, and enjoy your communion with the Ironworks members.

I hope you can forgive my error in posting my harsh post...and I am sorry that I made you cry hard enough to have to leave work early. I did not realize that posting on a discussion forum could affect a person so strongly. I shall remember that, the next time I post a comment on this forum.

I will go a step further and apologize to Ziroc for questioning the way he runs his website. If he and Reeka have a pact that this person remain a member of IW, and she go, and we never know...that is their business and even a moderator has no business wondering "why".
