How I speak and what I say are different when dealing with my members and with other people.
Hat wanted to know "why". I told Hat that the "why" was because they were allowed under our raid rules, and that I couldn't jump in the way without a good reason. When the raids began I didn't have a good reason. When my members decided to go full derp and open like 40 wars in 24 hours, I had a reason. However, due to the fact that I work for my members and not for other people, I set a deadline and allowed them to get what they could during that time period, rather than doing as I might normally do and simply killing their fun.
I will not now, nor will I ever, apologize for not telling people outside of Mensa private information that pertains only to my members. If I came off as brusque, that is because that is how I am. Take me for who I am.
Or leave me.
