Sorry that it didn't work out for you. Good luck with whatever other platform you choose. This is a mailing list for discussing technical issues, so please take the personal drama elsewhere. All personal dramas generate interest, but that doesn't mean that they're appropriate for this mailing list.
I have created a forum that people can use to communicate feelings, and exchange stories about their explorations in opensim and beyond: http://opensim.freeforums.org/ Please take this thread there or elsewhere.
