My impression was he was avoiding outright abusing people. Abusing their ideas as stupid was always going to be on the table for him. (Not justifying it but I think people are fooling themselves if they’re imagining a purely softer, gentler

You know, I honestly don’t know. In all the situations I’ve dealt with that involved getting kids into counseling or stuff like that, the parent(s) have been extremely supportive of the kids. It’s like it took going through it once for the
