If you're not going to be around all you have to say is "I'm not going to be around", but having you tell us one thing and then hearing something totally different from each one of your friends about why you're not around does get annoying.

I can check my phone/watch tv or shit like that for like 3 minutes at a time. Thanks for just assuming that I'm lieing to you. That's give me a reall good feeling of how much trust you have in me as a friend

But... We all know you lie to us frequently about stuff like this. You can try to blame him or get butthurt, but people give you the amount of trust you earn. It doesn't mean we don't like you or value your presence in the clan or your friendship outside of it. It just means we've gotten used to your lying and annoyed enough about it to risk calling you out about it.

Yet you are still posting. Also as someone who has been concussed(a bunch) and also considers himself knowledgable about technology, an LCD screen will not affect recovery or worsen the effects of said concussion. If that were true then you will not to be in any room with and AC current(60hz) for more than 3 minutes. Also what is 3 mins at a time? You can look at a screen for 3 minutes, blink, then 3 minutes more? Or can you look for 3 minutes, need 48 hours off, then can use again for 3 mins? Seriously either you are making shit up or your doctor is.

Thanks jab

And for jero: I'm not a doctor or tech expert. my doctor said 'yes you can use a phone or tv for about 3 three minutes, but after finished you should rest I.e. Sit in a dark room.' His words not mine. My initial post was before the doctor so I wasn't sure what to expect, I just assumed the worst.

I don't think people would be backing up palms if we didn't feel the same as he did. I know whenever you have given me some reason you can't be on, it's always a different reason than what you have given others, and I think most people would agree.

Again, it's not something that we hate you for - just something we've noticed a lot lately, enough to bring up.

Hey I don't want to be mean Ethan, it's just been bugging me and a lot of people, and I thought I was one of the best suited to call you out on it

Suited to call me out that you think I might be lying but have no proof at all. It just feels like I'm getting thrown under the bus

No, we are not trying to throw you under the bus. You were spoken to about the lying when you first wanted to join. You told us before that you couldn't get online for some reason, but it turns out you were actually grounded. Its just when you catch people lying about stuff like that, especially when its stuff that DOESN'T MATTER, then its hard to believe other things. Or things start to seem more fantasy than they are. If you really are concussed (I have had three) then I truly wish you a speedy recovery and hope you have no lasting effects from it. However, I think this was initially just going to be a way to tell you hey, if you are embarrassed or something about telling us why you won't be on or haven't been on then just say sorry I haven't been on and its personal. We don't feel like even a little "white lie" is necessary. I am sorry if you feel thrown under the bus or like you were attacked. I don't think anyone intended for that to happen. Palms said he was gonna say something to you about it, anubis and I felt it was best for him to do it since you and him are real life friends. I was hoping something like that would be easier to hear from him. Either way, its all been said now, so I hope we can move on. Again I am sorry if you feel attacked, that really wasn't the intention.

Thanks for the apology. I think what made me more emotional than usual was I had taken some pretty strong pain drugs that had a few side effects :/

*SIGHHH* Really? Pain medication, which increases the risk of bleeding, for a concussion, a brain injury.

What Travis said is true, it can cause an increase in bleeding, such as asprin... so why would a doctor prescribe pain medication for a concussion, really strong ones too? It is said that Advil and Motrin can make bruising worse. I never had one, so I'm just asking.

It was a pretty heavy duty form of Tylenol without risk of bleeding(as most tylenols are)
