Hi.
I consider myself to be a friend to JBK. I understand that he has a mental illness. I always understood that. I did stay away from the posts that went over the line. The community deemed that he had gone too far. I don't know...this community has funny ways sometimes when it decides what it will and will not put up with. There is a certain amount of 'following' and I don't even think it's intentional...but there's human nature for you. I admit there are people I don't put up with either...but I try to ignore them rather than keep egging them on. I say 'try' sometimes I can't help but poke.
But I always had an affinity for your brother. There is a lot of goodness in him that shone through.
One respected member has not been back since JBK was banned.
I say all this as a way to say: I hope JBK is doing well. I miss him and his creativity. I'm glad he has family to support him. I don't know if you are telling him about the posting here and the responses, but maybe you could just give him a hug for me.
I don't know what mugshot thing you are talking about. Maybe I missed something?
Anyway, thank you for letting us know how he is. I wonder about him.
