That's good.

It's possible he doesn't want support. Or he may want it, but make it hard for people to give it to him.

My pet?

I shouldn't have said "you". Sorry about that. An I-statement would've been better. How about: I don't expect to be thanked every time I'm kind. To me, that's not a reason not to be kind.

So Manic's on the other side of the minefield and:

1. some posters would like him to be restored, but aren't stepping forward to help him avoid the mines

2. other posters would just as soon he stay there

Maybe he has supporters, but not friends. I guess everyone can't have friends.
