Comment: me/you:  I'm not going to get involved in doing PR work for the Hop Valley owner/founders.  However, may I relate a short, personal and I think, relevant story.  

I've always been a politically active person.  That didn't set well with a local School District where I was employed.  They found a way to use a "reduction in force" to end my employment.  Like Mr. Johnson,  I felt I had been "royally screwed" and was extremely bitter.  Fortunately, I was able to "get over it" and keep that bitterness from clouding my future.  It wasn't real easy,   I still think the administrators and Board members were a bunch of #@$%$s, but they are $#$%^s "in the past."  I've "gotten even" by enjoying the last 30 plus years and, while I've been "at it", outliving all of them.

  It sounds like Aaron is doing the same.  

This will sound a little "preachy", but, IMO,  how we handle "getting screwed" is more important than "getting screwed"  regards and best wishes,   Gary
