So yes. I believe you are missing something.

I am very sorry. Now I understand, well, I can only imagine having everyone around you find out and leaving you. Again, I'm sorry. That certainly is more than reason to hate CNN. It didn't occur to me that using your name would obviously cause relationships to fall apart and such. I failed to connect the two.

Looking back, it is a real shame. I feel terrible now. Using your name was a mistake. Although you and others here would probably argue, I don't think that was the intention of CNN - to ruin your reputation. I think the intention of the article was to inform, provide insight to those who were about to bash it, and ultimately give help to anyone who was experiencing PAD. That was just a really bad call using your name. Real names and specific information is a big no-no in news. They should have asked to use your real name, or just by default use only your user name or a made up name.

Again, I'm sorry. I keep my forum life to myself for that reason. Nobody knows I think and discuss Avatar everyday. It would be really hard if everyone around me suddenly knew. I just hope that the 30% remaining friends are the good ones, the closest friends. You're going to college this year? Next year? Either way I hope you meet a lot of great people who wouldn't judge you from something like this. You don't deserve anymore break ups, only good people. God I'm sorry man.
