The need for this thread is simple: People are upsetting me, and I want them to stop. Furthermore, I don't want anybody else to start.
I'm not trying to create the illusion of any "conspiracy to con me into coming back." That would make no sense. Nobody can make me come back if I don't want to. All they can do is make me feel like complete crap about it--which they will do if they don't know the score, and won't if they do.
