All I care to say is that nothing in that thread was a surprise to me. You're a close enough friend that, while some of the stuff was more personal than I cared to know, none of it came as a shock. I actually had to force myself to read it so that I'd be able to make some objective points in my attempts to discredit the thread, but you're truly no less of a person for having such information shared.
I hope you change your mind and decide that you can put this behind you, someday returning. Until then, I wish you the best.
