We are all different and react differently to severe trauma, I've tasted both ends personally.
The "average" kind - Where its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel and on some days that light doesn't exist, but in the end you find it after weeks or months.
The "extreme" kind - I dropped absolutely everything in my life - family, work, friends, colleagues, acquaintances and pretty much didn't speak to another human being for around half a year. Still carry the luggage of it 10 years later but at least the light in the tunnel is visible now.
He is not defrauding people, and people are free to leave him as a customer if they feel this has been unacceptable, but please think twice on judging how other people handle severe trauma and rather leave in peace. Speak with the wallet, not the mouth.
Sorry, but what are you talking about? Take it easy, I wasn't talking about you, I don't even know you, this quote is my first interaction with you, I believe, so don't take it personally. And please, don't be offended. I know that most people on the internet take offence from almost anything, which is not even targeted at them. I try not to be offended by stuff, but it happens to me too. And I am not being passive aggressive, I hope, I mean it.
And besides, I acknowledged the fact, that people are different and even that my guess might be wrong (it's a guess for a reason). If you didn't take it out of context, it would make sense. If you accuse me of being one of the people who think that Pandelo is doing some scam, then you are wrong. There has been a ton of misconception of other's motives in this thread, and I am also sometimes probably guilty of that... I don't know... but you really mistook mine. My guess is, that the lack of updates is caused by uncertainty of the future, and there is still hope for his mother. I know it's ridiculous to talk about this, to make up stories and speculations about someone whom we don't even know by name, but it's a pirate semi-anonymous forum for porn games. It's supposed to be a ridiculous place.
Btw, this one is actually directed towards you personally: Hey, sorry for the long post, but I don't want to make you feel like your experience means nothing. You are more than entitled to be human, so you are more than entitled to love someone, to mourn a loss, and to basically feel for yourself and others. It should go without saying and you don't need my validation, but it looked like I should address it. You gave me an example of what happened to you, and I can sympathise, because I had deaths in the family, and I can relate to something concrete. With Pandelo's case, those are only guesses and speculations on a pirate forum, they don't mean anything except of being a part of a conversation.
