Nah, mine. And I’m friendly with Jason, we’ve spoke for over a year now in public and private messages (of course this is no excuse for me to air out his private business). However he made that thread announcing his fathers passing along with their relationship in detail, and it was near if not the top of the front page of SaidIt (someone could still find it if they wanted to); he made it public himself so I’m not afraid of overstepping when I say that event could explain his recent behavior. I know it’d put me in a bad place.

I would be emotional too if I were in his position. I wouldn’t have brought it up if you didn’t ask, but since you did, it does make sense when you think about it. Even if it was six months ago (which it wasn't for those reading who missed the post), you know it hurts and even if I don’t agree with what Jason may have done by posting this thread, I can understand why and how pain could be clouding his judgement and making him emotional.

Edit: meant 2 update this yesterday but somehow forgot. the comments are both now back and right above these comments, somehow. Maybe it was a bug since threads are getting long in here, or maybe an admin legitimately accidentally removed them which is honestly easy to do.

Both my comment and another users were gone for over an hour, and I ctrl + f’d and triple checked. They came back last night tho.

Oh yes - don't get me wrong. I complete agree with everything you've posted in this thread. Jason and I've discussed various issues almost daily for months, and though he very much disagrees with me on many things, and can be quite annoyed with me, I (and perhaps others) also try to appreciate that he's probably been dealing with very difficult issues this past 2 - 3 months, if not longer. Whereas he's made this public, I will sometimes delete my posts, as I am sometimes not sure what I should say in this forum. I noted in one of my other posts that I had seen a pattern that got progressively worse in the past 2 or 3 weeks. But this is none of my business. I think many of us wish him well, and I hope he appreciates this (as I suspect he's not happy about the suspension).
