As possibly the tiniest part of the community, simply one small lurker and occasional chatter, my heart goes out to you and the others used and abused and I want to say you are heard and your feelings are valid.

I genuinely, personally, never expected to see this caliber of unprofessional misuse of trust to the fandom from a member of HC. I genuinely hope this is merely a case of one bad apple and seeing/hearing about the rest of the HC crew is handling this, I sincerely think or at least want to hope that is the case.
