[QUOTE="BigTom, post: 2506977, member: 16366"] One piece of advice, save that email, you may need proof later. There are two possible chain of evens here, and which is is will determine if you need that email. 1) He sent the email first. In this case, it is likely he sent the email in anger, then realized he wouldn't get to play with his friends, repented to some extent, and sent the post to the board. In this case, you have to absolutely hold him to his promises on the board but you may have gotten through to him at least temporarily. 2) He sent the email second. In this case you may need the email later because he may be trying to play you against the group. The scenario he may be hoping for is that you react to the email about him leaving, then you look like the bad guy when he was obviously so contrite to the group. Someone immature and spiteful, who can't handle criticism, might just try a tactic like this. I don't know which it is, but keep that email in case you need to prove to the group what happened. And if it is case one, try to work with him to better interact with the group, this could be a breakthrough for his social development. [/QUOTE]
