He is able to call out on the phone from there, so we keep in touch. Plus I have been able to go during the family visit time on the weekends. I think he'll be checking out the thread as soon as he can, but I have been telling him some of the better gE postings.
I am sure he is ready to be back making his own lunch.

I don't think he should ever read this blog again.

He's been known to take this place personal (like trying to fight you for example).  If he truly wants to get better, he should put this place and other things that have not been positive for him in his past and move forward.

I think he enjoys this board and views it as a positive.  Most of his issues are when posting under the influence or when people are dicks to him despite knowing he is an addict.  If he wants to visit here he should.  If people are unable to forgive and forget knowing that it wasn't entirely his fault and continue to be dicks to him that is on them.

just an fyi, being a known addict isn't a reason for people to not be a dick to you on the internet. there are other reasons, but that's not one.

Yeah, I guess.  Everyone is different.  What are the reasons, for future reference?

because you are a nice guy and being a dick to people isn't nice. because they are nice people and don't deserve being dick'd at. because they didn't do anything to deserve a dick'ing. you know, tons of normal reasons. if someone deserves to be on the receiving end of being a dick, them being an addict (or having any number of other issues) doesn't get them a get out of dick'ing free card.

Really, all of us should probably do more constructive things than waste time on gE. The only ones that benefit on gE are the mods/owners. Which is why Wacky wanted to hard to be an owner a few years ago. The owners are making bank and we are all just one step away from losing our jobs.

I completely disagree with meow meow, if he gets enjoyment from this place, and he clearly does, he should keep reading and posting. Now, I also completely disagree that people have been dicks to him knowing that he's struggling with substance abuse. I had issues with sdk, but we're way beyond them, we got over them before I knew he had these issues. When he comes back I think that people should be cognizant of his issues because he's been so open about them, but there shouldn't be different sets of rules for him. Everyone has bad days and if he gets on the wrong side of someone having a bad day they have the right to stand up for themselves.

off of soapbox


get well my dude
