Gahhh! Could somebody just come out with it please? I’m dying here. Who is “he?” Maybe _I_ live close to him. ---

Anyone else who wants to be clued in—my profile has my email. Harimad-sol, sent you the email. Looks like someone else clued you in too. ---

Can someone cue _me_ in on whatever the devil’s going on, too? :eek: 😕 :o I won’t blab, if that’s a problem. ---

selfishness. I started this thread because I needed… I don’t know, a place to just say ‘oh shit’ in unison. If anyone wants to know just email the nice person who gave the go ahead to contact them. I’ll volonteer too. Please do this before posting that you don’t know what’s going on. I don’t know why… just do. Not thinking too clear right now. Just have this really urgent feeling. ---

> [@Diogenes the Cynic](#): > > And if it can’t be talked about then why have a thread about it? I was wondering the same thing. Frankly, I don’t think there SHOULD be a thread on it, not until everything’s resolved one way or the other. After all, the previous thread was closed for a reason, I’m sure. But the mods will close/delete if they need to; hopefully, if they do, the message will be sent. So I’m just waiting and seeing. ---

Man…I can’t go to bed either. I wish the mods would give us some clue as to what’s going on. Even if they don’t know anything at all, and are waiting to find out (admittedly the most likely possibility), it’d be nice to hear from a staff member on the issue. ---

You know, I don’t think he’s an American? I have the vague idea he’s from Brazil? Anyway, I’m still thinking of him and I hope someone can let us know if it was real or a hoax. ---

In a fit of rage (I won’t go into it) I committed doper-cide tonight. I am sorry for any consternation this may have caused, I was not thinking clearly at the time. It was wrong. Again, I am truly sorry. I will no longer post. ---

I’m more relieved that you’re ok than I am pissed that you would pull a stunt like this. That will probably change by tomorrow. I’m sorry to see you go.
