To second what Jane has said, here's another good quote:

Craig,
If you choose to leave then 'they' have won. I understand the feelings (PM me for my political issues I've faced in the last 4 months) but to leave only strengthens those who do not understand what GP really is all about.
GP is a code which is lived by, not a yardstick to measure others by.
I'm sorry if some have tried to judge you (using 'GP' as their yardstick ... again PM me about this, I know how you feel) but now is the time to stand up to 'them', because it's easy to be a leader when things go right, but it shows the true mettle of a leader when you feel you are being tested by those you have respected and looked up to.
CD is a place for discussion of ideas, even ones that are not popular. If you do choose to leave I will miss your posts and your skills and
FIRST will have lost a good person. It is my hope that you reconsider.
