on it is a decent enough way for him to vent some of the stress it brings him and taking him to task for it is probably not the most helpful thing we can do to support him.

No one here has to read what he posts, so it's hardly any different than sports, wrestling, etc posts that not everyone follows.

I'm fine with that to the exclusion of the idea that because I'm not as visibly ranting about it, I don't care. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 10:06 1
- Absolutely. We all care here and that caring takes different forms and isn't always visible. Not engaging is not the same as not caring because - TWuG Feb 22, 10:49
