TexPat said:I've received e-mail from people who I haven't seen for years as well as lots of perfect strangers, thanking me for speaking out. When I left Austin nearly six years ago and immigrated to NZ, I left with my tail between my legs after being derided, publicly ridiculed, and ignored by many who were once my friends. It was very tough as I am not so very thick-skinned (thick-headed no doubt!). Getting hate-letters, for the record, is very unsettling.
I am so grateful to the thickest (skinned) of all, Betsy and David Walsh, who are both monumentally tough and determined. Without their examples, I would have scurried into a cave and hid away.
Of course, I would be remiss if I failed to mention the anonymous RaceRadio, whose knowledge and righteousness helped make this place an invaluable resource---I presume---for investigators.

Come back to the good ole USA! Armstrong is a total d---. What he did to you and your wife was totally disgusting. I read about it. You need to come back. Things are different. True that Lance will always be a rich *** without anything between his ears, but oh well. People don't respect him anymore except for his fake Livestrong fans.
