We've had very limited interaction with each other, and what interaction there was between us was seldom positive. At first I was not upset that you were leaving, but now I am. The things you did that I disagreed with were never "wrong," they were just different from the things I do. I apologize, because I let those things cloud my judgment to all the good things you did for CF.

I am truly sorry to see you go.

I don't know what your "RL circumstances" are, and if you don't want to share them everyone else needs to respect that. If you have problems with other staff members, that's between you and the staff. It's none of anyone's business.

My heart always goes out to people who are hurting, and so as my final words to you, Eshval, I leave you with this:

William Ernest Henley. 1849–1903

Invictus

OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
