Sorry but I won't take credit for pushing anyone away. People leave of their own accord - some for legitimate reasons, others not so much - and certainly not because of me or DS. One notable exodus had absolutely nothing to do with either of us, but I'd argue that it was the motivation for others to follow suit. Put your big boy pants on and deal with it.
If you leave with a parting shot, don't be surprised that one follows you out the door. Or are you going to be a hypocrite and say something brilliant like "That's different!"?
But they care soooooo much about you and yours? Riiiiiiiight.
