I've written upwards of eighty of these things over the years; I enjoy the stupidity that is this event, and the implication that I don't is convenient smokescreen to my actual point.
Mae, my partner, is still here. People nominated her for being away. That shows, at best, a careless mistake that has compounded other, similar, less innocent mistakes. If you think my words and actions hurt, you should perhaps consider what yours might do to others also. If you're upset at my attitude, then perhaps try to understand why I am behaving like this before you start opposing me.
Here's it made simple: you (a general, non-specific you) hurt her feelings. I expect one half of the winners of Cutest Couple to understand the lengths one goes to in order to defend their loved one, no?
Enjoy your awards. I look forward to seeing a lot of joy while I lurk this out. But it's sad (and unsurprising) that the reason I left—people ignoring my legitimate grievances—is still in effect.
Congratulations to all the winners.
