But do you know the full story?

Here's how it went down. I'm not proud of this, but I'll name myself as one of the staff members. The other can out themselves if they want.

So the Skype Conversation involved myself, and several members of the community. We were having jolly good fun, and when Qu3sti0n joined, we decided to have some fun. We alleged that a photo was circulating (there never was, and hopefully never will be). We had some fun, but Qu3sti0n was acting strange. Instead of acting disgusted (as someone should), we began trying to bargain, even engaging in a conversation to get the photo in exchange for money. Up to this point, we had not even thought in starting personal attacks on someone who had not wronged us. As soon as qu3sti0n brought such remarks upon themselves, we played along. We had minor jabs at him, and he did not express any distaste, and never told us to stop. If he did, we would have.

My comments during this time were admittedly too vile to post here.

During this time, the other staff member remarked that another community member had not changed his password, something I immediately followed up by posting on his account. As a result, Qu3sti0n revealed his forum password followed by the words "I don't care"

If he had an issue with us posting on the account, he wouldn't have told us the password.

I swapped accounts with Qu3sti0n, him taking the other members, and me taking over his (Qu3sti0nMark). Within a minute, I found a comment from him, using the alternative account. This comment was also in jest, but I somehow felt that the best solution was to return the favour, and write back a similar comment. The conversation ended there.

I find it slightly hurtful that you are accusing both of us of shameful behaviour, when the banter was from both sides. I acknowledge mine and the other staff member's conduct was not up to the standards of McTopia, but it was far from the lowest. Attempting to speculate on matters you weren't directly involved in is simply enflaming a subject that ended at 10pm AEST last night. I repeat, our actions were not at all appropriate, but claiming to be aware of the situation, then only blaming it on us is ignorant to the wider outcomes, and others involved.

I apologise to Qu3sti0n for my actions, which in hindsight were not what someone as esteemed as yourself should expect from us.
I withdraw any comments you may read on mine, Qu3sti0n's or Leigh's accounts, on behalf of myself and Qu3sti0n.

Oh, I was in his PM's

Does it matter? If he didn't want us in his PM's, he wouldn't have given us the password. We didn't guess the password, he GAVE IT to us. I didn't publish them here, and their content was never life threatening. We quoted his own words, and not a single word outside of it. My original point stands, he never said stop during the time we were doing this, only after, when it can be proven I tried to remove the evidence. Had he said tacitly 'No looking in my PM's', I would have honestly looked through, but I wouldn't be stupid enough to publish them.

Mentioning this is invalid, and again, you are just gripping onto the little amount of bad credit you have against me. This ended days ago, why do you insist on bringing it up? You gave your response, I gave mine. That was it.

If you were actually in the call at the time, you would have some basis to call me out. Sadly, you weren't, and thus you are uncredible and unable to be accurately describing my actions.

You should be a politician, your hyperbole is through the roof.

That's enough. I probably don't have any weight here anymore, but this topic should never have been revived, and the one you're flopping around at your discretion is fine to talk about between yourselves, but if it's a problem it shouldn't be discussed openly. This topic is -Metaphorically-

LOCKED.
