One more sad thing: The “friend” I am protecting is the very same friend who has chosen to turn all of this on me at the most random of moments. It is House Who I was protecting with my silence. Well, now- I ask you to slow down on your accusations until you are up to speed on the truth, in context. You have been fed a spoon full of decorative bullshit. I was not going to insult you by feeding into this hate rally, and you will probably at some point see that your erroneous move was first to believe only what you have been offered without any such prerequisite probing, not even so much as a “what happened?” was uttered in my direction until I pointed out that you were assuming too much. Tabloid smut is what this is reducing it too. The cost, according to what House wishes, would be my credibility, my livelihood and my now empty pantry. However, I am not so easily snuffed out in the face of such abomination. I was protecting the hand that continues to slap me in the face while enjoying bountiful feasts of which I have none. He is the one I was protecting. Without his reciprocal courtesy I am inclined to take this to the next level. It isn’t my interests to convince you. It is my interest to survive. That’s proving to be a challenge with this shit fogging up my reputation and I don’t deserve it. 🔛
