After digesting the fact that my Pox Arcanum group would not be running because Nas would not play with me, I fired off an email to my fellow Purple Poxers to ask them to kick me.
I made a personal plea to Nas to reconsider her involvement so that the group would not be punished due to my actions, and I will make that plea again here. There really is no reason why anyone else but me should be made to pay for what is my responsibility.
I will miss our time together and wish you good luck with my replacement and Godspeed.

2 days later
....I am out of Sidhe Devils.
In short, I caused drama and hurt feelings by stating that I would choose to run with Teurion over my own guildies. I would not back away from, retract, or apologize for that statement. I chose a real life friend over my online guildies.
I am bitter about the way the whole thing was handled and am sorely tempted to regurgitate it here for you all to eat. Yummy...vomit.
But, I realize that posting my side of the story (and Teurion's as well) will resolve nothing, and that I must let....it.....go. On the plus side, I really have had no desire to play the game as of late, so I spent that time with my wife, so I owe some thanks to my former guildies....so, THANKS!

12 days
Teurion and VA left the guild last night; they had been a part of Sidhe Devils for 12 days. The guild they went to (Blood for Blood) is one of our allied guilds and, frankly, is a much better fit for Teurion.
This development will change nothing for me, as they both transferred over to Kael'thas to play with me, and not necessarily to be a part of Sidhe Devils. So, in that aspect, there's no big issue with not fitting in at SD. And BBB expressed serious concerns about the fit after the very first instance run that we did with them.
I also think that BBB and Teurion got off on the wrong foot and never did recover from it. They both have their own ideas about how things should be run and are both a little...uh....headstrong about it. Ok, that's just sugar coating it, but, meh... I also think that them both having significant experience as GMs, Raid Leaders, and tanks caused a lot of the friction; kind of like putting two Alpha dogs together in one of the dog's home turf. It wasn't gonna turn out well...
Of course, I see that now, but didn't see it before.../meh again. It doesn't change anything for me - I'll still run with them; in fact I will still prefer to run with them and will pick them over my own guildies. Why? Because I love the way Teurion tanks. I love the military feel to the runs that he coordinates - the killing machine speed runs - the no CC just DPS the heck outta the mobs style - the aggro half the instance and kill the mobs before the healer runs out of mana adrenalin rushes. That's the game I like playing.
And yes, I can deal with CC and can chain trap with the best of them. I can refrain from using Multi-Shot every time the cool down is up. I can play that particular game as well; it's just that I prefer to just provide Massive Quantities of Sustained Ranged DPS (I averaged over 800 for the H. Slave Pens run last night).
So, there you have it. A little guild drama...but not really. I'm not planning on going anywhere.

The Loser Wins!
I took a poll, and the votes said to make those saps pay for the songs!
...but, as far as legal standing, I'm much better off with the donate option. And I'm all about easy!! And less complicated. And lawyer free thanks to Scott's Lawyer Be Gone once a year lawn treatment.
So, if you'd like to help me a bit with buying new tracks to ruin, clicky clicky clicky!
And thank you for your support!

Resolved...for now
So, my wife and I were able to talk out her frustration with me, and things are resolved for now. I have no doubt that we'll go through this same dance again in the future, when I obsess too much about the game and neglect the one I love.
It turns out that we don't have that much in common. I think that through the years, we haven't had to deal with the issue due to child rearing, church activities, and the busy-ness(business?) of life. We've both gravitated toward what we enjoy doing, which are not the same things.
What's the solution? I'm not sure. For a while, we had dancing, but we had to stop taking lessons due to financial reasons. She absolutely refuses to even try WoW (she's not a gamer at all). We are trying to take walks together after dinner. And, of course, I'll need to cut back on my playing during times when she's home and awake. When she's sleeping or away....all bets are off! lol.

Aggro is MINE
Wife aggro that is. Once again, I'll need to cut back on my playing time. Whatever.
