There's nothing for me to retract. I don't feel the need to be around particular groups and I have my reasons why. It's doubtful they miss me and sit around wondering where I am.
Over the past decade, I've become increasingly misanthropic. People like you don't help. Try not to bother yourself so much about what other people think or say, especially when it has absolutely no effect on your life.
>>The judgements aren’t hypothetical.
Yep, they’re hypothetical. Not in evidence, unlike your character (or at least the lack thereof).
You made a mistake, but rather than own it you just wade in deeper with denial.
FAIL.
