Danni Beautifully put, Wendy. Please don't think though that there was anything specific to do with you about the whole business - you just happened to be in the firing line at one point, like many others were too.

Sadly, I think the whole situation could have been rectified with a bit of honesty. If that person had come forward and said "I'm sorry, I lied about aspects of my life, and it got out of control" a lot of the group (in fact, probably everyone in the group) would have been supportive IMO. He came across as such a fun and kind person, I really don't believe that that aspect of his personality was deception. Ironically, it was those bits of his life that nobody could have cared less about (what he actually looked like, what he did for a job, what relationship he was in) that led to the whole mess in the first place.

I wish things hadn't turned out the way they have :(
