Bravo! While I said no just like you, I did not have any of the same pressure. I had societal pressure, but I don't give a shit what anyone thinks of me. I did not have pressure with respect to my job. You should feel really good about yourself. You proved to yourself and everyone around you, who you are and what you are made of. You proved you have a line that cannot be crossed.
The only disagreement I have with your statement is that you were/are not a victim of anything. You are a sovereign man. While the government and society turned against you, you stood alone, you are not a victim, you are a warrior.
