   I rather appreciate when people openly identify themselves   
   as the kind that run from problems.   
      
   See also: Idiot. Good riddance.   
      
      
      
   This also looks like a case of intolerance - aka NATURAL   
   SELECTION (you know, the notion that deity-haters clung to   
   for a few decades as proof of their atheist superiority,   
   until suddenly realizing it brought with it unintended   
   logical consequences that are contrary to their "evolving   
   to perpetually be seen to be the most self-righteously   
   politically correct" position) - working.   
      
   And the funniest part is it's clearly *her* intolerance   
   motivating a ridiculous amount of effort to escape others.   
      
   Naughty naughty! Tsk tsk tsk!   
      
   See the insane hypocrisy of the modern superior morality   
   ilk? Others are supposed to accept her life choices/style,   
   but she doesn't have to accept theirs. Instead, she flees   
   to what she perceives to be the nearest social walled   
   garden.   
      
   Veddy veddy intedesting! :-)

   Methinks a better person would stay to try to change it   
   instead of sustaining self-inflicted tail-between-the-legs   
   burns.
