You missed, Elmore. I am not Bearded Bruce either. But then, how can you be sure?

However, it doesn't matter who I am. What I said made a valid point. The point is, this place has become like a small town, full of cliques and feuds, unpleasant gossip, festering grudges, and old enemies.

When one lives in a place like that for long enough, the thought of simply moving somewhere else can eventually become rather attractive.
