I am not a programmer, simply a user. Sometimes, people, especially when stressed, say things that they don't really mean, or wish they could take back. However, from what I see, it seems that the person who made the comments that hurt you sincerely regrets it. Another comment had to do with cultures. Being married to someone from East Asia, I have found, along with the stresses of marriage, that this can often be a factor as well. Some things that one culture considers rude, to another is acceptable. As a simple user, I ask that you reconsider your decision. I hope you have seen from the various posts in this thread that everyone, including the person who originally made the comments that hurt, wants you to stay. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
