Hoping Paul's okay, but disappearing is something I can relate to heavily, after the passing of a close relative, my emotional and mental health became very turbulent so I simply disappeared by uninstalling all my social media, never picking up calls, stopped working on my OSS projects, not replying to anyone, just because I couldn't handle it. I came back in due course after working on myself but a lot of people also attempted to find out if I was alive and it did give me a lot of anxiety that I couldn't handle at that stage, I believe the people on the forums have done their due diligence and after that, unless there's some actual information we must keep in mind we may do more harm than good even though intentions are pure. Just a thought.

It's like when you have a controlling partner that keeps tabs on you because he/she is insecure and worried about you all the time. No matter what the intention, it's still controlling behavior and it's unacceptable.
