Seems an odd stance to take though, Pyro. Did you lose something particularly important? I can't see why the personal element or strength of the hatred should be an issue at all.
I'm actually losing a lot of people at work now; good people who built our office from scratch and earned our University reputation and fortune. The people are above me will be going out of the office soon because we were facing a government official who doesn't respect the law and want to take what is ours, well, just because. They can only do so much without support from our higher ups.
Our actual boss is disowning our office and is quietly doing the motions of transferring us to another area because they can't take the heat from the government. This is the same boss who reaped the accolades that we brought to the University just a few months ago.
My last superior, who will be going out after years of holding the line, just told me to "hold the fort".
So here I am, third in command but will be forced to be the leader of the group. I can't even quit since the people below me will suffer. These people are industrious and honest family people and I can't bear to see them without jobs just because I can't grit my teeth and take the mantle on. It's also to honor the people above me who took the fight for years, only to be betrayed by our higher-ups. (We could probably win the case if they just have backbones to implement the documents that we drafted. Turns out that they love their careers more)
So if I see a person who hates someone or a group who didn't even affect them the slightest then I'm quite offended.
I really hope this is just a phase though. I can't even talk about it in detail since I'm bound with confidentiality clauses. Normally, I'm not even easily offended by anything.
