Thanks, Joplin

I've read your post, which I must say is more sensitive and beautiful than any of my posts have been.

But I entirely echo your sentiments for rainbow. I just wish that I could have put it in as beautiful a way.

I really am very concerned about him, and I just want to help him in any way I can.

I know that I am brutal in my posts to him. I'm sorry about that - I just can't help it, maybe. Maybe I'm not the best person to help him. Maybe it's the 'father instinct' in me towards him, I don't know. Perhaps, I should try more to be his friend, than his protector. Maybe, he doesn't need a protector. If he doesn't, I'll try to do better for him.

But, he does need our help right now. He is going through a very nasty time, a time that I went through myself, a long time ago now, but I remember it like it was yesterday.

I just want to see this board help rainbow, and to give the support that he not only needs, but deserves. He has done no wrong. He hasn't hurt anyone.

I will defend him with my life, without a second thought, if it ever came to that.

So, thank you very much for your post. I'm sure it will mean a lot to him.

With many thanks indeed,

Trill
