@Roz You’re not wrong. It was a threat and it remains a threat until there is disclosure.
The “why” of the threat, however, is a bit more interesting.
Let’s say that you, and by “you” I mean in a pretend situation where I am talking to someone named Roz on a messageboard about this unrelated fictitious scenario, actually stood to lose a lot if something this weird fell under professional scrutiny.
“Why are you revising the private exchange between two former people playing… magicians? What is roleplaying?”
This is my suspicion, but given the hasty rush in and out of the hospital for (I forget exactly what, it’s still posted on the bboards) exhaustion/stress/burnout/whatever, which was then blamed on said player…
That doesn’t look good, either. It sorta looks to me like, uh, something I’d pull out of my ass because I was terrified and trying not to show it.
sighs Sorry.
I know you already know.
It was just a really bad, bad, bad, experience. Like booking a vacation abroad and finding yourself in a civil war. >.<
