Why would he worry about it? You aren't going to force votes on him for popping in to say he's busy. There's 40 hours left. He will be back when he's ready. Seems like you're just looking for reasons to sus the guy
You're right, I won't force votes on him for one thing!
It's just somewhat strange that someone known as overbearingly active, so much so that there are tags about him not spamming the thread, comes in to announce he's changed his ways.
Then leaves for awhile, comes back after a vote, and says he's busy and preoccupied.
Then leaves for only a short while to fluff post about the theme!
Personally I find the combination somewhat scummy as it would 1) show he's not comfortable being anywhere near as active as scum as he is as town 2) sliding into to fill posts with theme fluff is mostly pointless, especially for someone that just said he lacks time.
RippedCal if you have no insight to offer at the moment that is perfectly fine, but if you wouldn't defend others for seemingly no reason that would be great too!
