recyug,

you are a wonderful person. You are completely correct in your feelings for Ed - Ed is a victim, I hope all of us realise that.

unfortunately you are extremely bright. that brings a great cost. You can see very rapidly some things that others can't - certainly including me.

I stop short on saying try and not feel bad about it - I know that is impossible, but know this, you saw something we all (or at least most of us) didn't - and that is a gift. And you saw it in unbelievably quick time. Even though Ed is ? a victim - he actually does attempt to hurt people - conscious or subconscious.

So, the end result (so far) is that his new creation is diffused -- is that good or bad? -- I don't know.

We all played a part in this - it's not just you. I am sorry, it is life - or at least part of it.

I will put my vote squarely now - this place is better for you being around - everyone has to take some crap some time - I don't think you deserve to carry any weight from this - all you did was see Ed and said 'I see him' ----- the rest is history.

Is this about fml? - of course it is --- we are all invested here - including Ed, if we can believe his posts - so let's look after each other as best we can.

Rest easy recyug, we ALL need you.

Let us try and put this day behind us and get on with tomorrow - all of us ----------- yes Ed, including you.

have a great night
