EDIT: Why do people get so angry when someone says they are quitting? Im sure some psychology person would be interested into breaking that one down.

These are the same people who say "if you dont like it just quit!" to anyone who dares question the almighty SE.
These are also the same people who say "if the USA isnt the best country in the world then why dont you go live somewhere else" to anyone who dares question the almighty oligarchy.
They are afraid of being wrong themselves. They need to bash you in order to feel secure.
So... it only follows that these two will react similarly when someone actually leaves. They don't even want to hear about it, you dont want to leave or you wouldnt be telling them, etc. It's really the same thing the guy leaving is doing: looking for backup. He wants people to leave with him, and the people jumping all over him want people to validate their view by bashing him as well.
edit: i am no shrink and of course this is a huge stereotype
