He was rushing you for two reasons, 1. Since you got "dragged" into it, people were looking to you to see how you would react, you could have told everyone to calm down before making your final decision, but hindsight is 20/20 I guess
2. He also probably felt bad about the whole situation, because he apologized lots of times, and just wanted things to go back to normal and get his friends and mod back as quickly as possible, so he rushed you to make a decision. Everyone involved could have handled it better
