> I assumed that you could find someone with his email without posting concerns about **Lib’s** mental health publicly. I also made the wild assumption that had he been a friend you would have his email address.

You assumed incorrectly on both counts.

And I will not disagree with you that **Lib** has been a cantankerous ass the last few weeks, but, at least to me, it seems to be behavior that is inconsistent with what his behavior had been during the months prior - hence my _concern_ as opposed to my ire.

However, there is only so much concern I have to spare for those who will not help themselves, and I hope, in time, those who need help will get it. Until then, by all means, call assholery wherever you find it - it deserves to be confronted, regardless of the root cause.
