Oh come on, did you really expect the kid glove treatment. Joining FR is like signing a contract written on toilet paper, at least there is use for toilet paper if the contract turns out to be fresh air.
If you read my post I said you should join FR with your eyes open as it is obvious what is going to happen. Obviously you went in blinkered by shiny jet syndrome. You made an informed choice, deal with it, just stop whining please. Tin helmet and flack jacket on :-D
