I am not trying to work anything. And even if I were, I haven't spoken with Registered since way before he left, and rarely at that. I'd have to check my emails.

If you leave now, you're leaving out of personal choice, not out of upholding your word...a technicality I suppose. Perhaps you grow tired of that screen name and wish for another. Ah well, it's not my concern. So long.

I'm not tired of my screen name. And what I said about you "working this just right" was a joke; otherwise, I would have excluded the ";)" I placed at the end of that sentence.

The first thing you did when Jim pleaded for Registered's return was to ping and high-five those who share your feelings about my promised departure, and you have been "dancing on my corpse" for days. It puzzled me a little that you had written me at least two "I'm not paying the ransom until the baby is back in my arms" posts, and I was merely responding to them - trying to do this with a little grace and a bit of humor.

That's all.

Don't leave. You made a statement in the heat of the moment and I wouldn't expect you to abide by it.

To be honest, 36 hours later, I forgot who made that statement. A few will try to cram it down your throat, but I won't.

Ok, I did that.

and you have been "dancing on my corpse" for days.

One day, I believe, to be precise.

It only seems fair for you to wait until the other party actually comes through with their part of the bargain. I actually have doubts that he will be back. I could be wrong.
