If you had an ethical and professional obligation to remove me, that means that there was an ethical, professional, and respectful way to go about it. Every single one of you failed that test. The professionalism was virtually non-existent and the ethics are questionable to the point that I could probably sue you for at least emotional distress if not wrongful dismissal if I wanted to.

That happened because you claimed I was a bad role model for them which I'll somewhat admit given that you don't have the full story, but what kind of role models were you?! You weren't exactly modeling professional and ethical behavior for me, even if I'm supposed to already know it, that doesn't make it okay; and then to turn around and complain about mine?
