> I was there last night. I was upset. I don't exactly know why. In the morning it seemed silly to get as worked up as I did about the whole incident, but this place has come to matter a great deal to me and I was tired last night and this kind of prank was not at all what I expected. I've never found pranks particularly funny, perhaps because I'm usually on the receiving end.

Read my post. In it, I argue that the reason you were upset may have been the result of a misunderstanding. See if anything in my post "rings a bell" for you.

It took me a /long/ time to figure out why I was upset at what happened last night. I wouldn't be surprised if lots of people don't figure it out at all.

> Another thing that might bothered me was the way Morris, Wormwood, and Wes were accused of being at the root of it when those doing the accusing obviously knew perfectly well that it wasn't them at all.

> Maybe it was the little things that got to me...At one point Sam said "Rinkchat is DEAD" or something of the sort. I really wasn't sure that there would be a place to come back to this morning.

YES! That was the quote that I was trying to remember but couldn't! Thank you!

It doesn't make a big difference, but I was sort of wondering. I knew /somebody/ said /something/...It feels better to know that I wasn't imagining it.

> And then the way Sam and Dave seemed angry that no one got their joke...

> Last night was a bad night.

Yes.

> All this said I want to say thank you to Sam for writting the post that I'm replying to and for giving me a place like this that I would fear losing enough to get upset about it.

Me too.
