Roy,
You are mistaken. You call him a friend, but he didn't say the same to you. If Amos can do it to Vincent, he can also do the same on you one day. So, don't ever think that there is an impossibility.
When you are dealing with Amos, you have to stretch to think of the most unbelievable things that can be said of you. I hate to see you like Vincent ... shocked, hurt and disappointed.
