I am sorry...

Did he actually say that was the reason?

Now what?

travellight October 16 2007, 17:18:36 UTC

I asked that because I'm astonished, not because I doubt you.

terracinque October 16 2007, 17:19:24 UTC

Explicitly, specifically, unequivocally, yes. That was the reason.

Now, I don't know. Legal action, I reckon.

travellight October 16 2007, 17:24:06 UTC

I do not know what to say or think.

Good grief. I'm so sorry.

Fucking hell. What can we (your friends) do? Letter writing? Protest? Notify the media? I'll do it.

Beth said she was sorry, eugie gave me a hug, and they plus elemess helped me pack my desk area and take it to the car. I didn't see anyone else on the way out. Vallerie was out today.

Wow. I am stunned. If you need me, let me know. Send me an email because my phone is god-knows-where.

terracinque October 16 2007, 20:41:24 UTC

I don't know why you'd be stunned. You knew this was likely.

terracinque October 16 2007, 23:23:27 UTC

I emailed you; you haven't responded.
