Eh, maybe if the OP provided screenshots we might be able to gauge how iffy the wording was. Personally, I'm in no rush to take his quotations at face value considering how many times he's jumped around, corrected his story, backpedaled, and otherwise tried to change the situation every time someone calls him out.

Definitely agree about making sure everyone's clear on the rules though. That is the #1 thing to do before even starting.
