I admire the tenacity. Something is still wrong though, with many of us I know what you mean.. it is a bit annoying when people poke their nose into others' business. I'd understand if one person was related, but from someone I don't know.. hmm. Yes, there is free will. I don't believe in predestination or that destiny stuff anymore. We make our own fate.
I guess you could go do what you want so long as it's not life-threatening or illegal, cuz I can just imagine the fallout if things ever go back. It's a free country. Might not be a good idea to not write it though, lest people get overly uptight and in your business.
