You express better than me the point I was attempting to make but in a more flippant way. Friendships here are important but my key personal relationships don't revolve around this website or any previous versions of it. There are a couple of people here that I hope I will be in touch with for a long time. They are genuine friends and support me.
If you read things elsewhere either in posts, or pms that have circulated, either about me or moderators on this site such as you, you'd conclude that we were pretty unpleasant people. The vitriol isn't difficult to find. Of course when it comes from people who you thought were 'friends', it is initially difficult to understand or deal with.
At the end of the day you can't change what is said behind your back but you know yourself what is true. Being comfortable in your own skin is what it is about and sometimes you have to accept that people don't reach the same levels of integrity that you set for yourself.
