Dude, i am sorry if you feel dragged into this (whatever it means), but if you had carefully read what Mamesick wrote now and in the past, you would probably understand why he felt being offended by your "you can do better now".
Maybe he loved his job, because he didnt need to work for some greedy boss. He and his friends had a privately run hotel for more than a decade. Economical circumstance forced them to close it and now a person comes in (you in this case) to tell him "dont be sad, you can do better now"... Hell, i would be angry to read such things too and then you write here that he is nothing more than a attention whore. what did you expect?
