Golfer, Morandir had an absolutely horrible day yesterday, a 6ml juice day, and just had a few recent threads rub him the wrong way. I can relate. There also seemed to be a misunderstanding concerning age and common attitudes, in which Clover became entangled, and as you may or may not know Clover is Morandir's ECF "sister." Morandir is very loyal and protective of those he cares for, and I think maybe everyone's nerves just got a little frayed and some wires got crossed.
I dearly hope this all gets smoothed out between the parties, and that Mordo has a much better day on Tuesday, and most of all that neither he nor Who decide to abandon us -- although if a sabbatical is truly needed, then we'll all be understanding. (And look forward joyfully to their return.)
Golfer, I assure you that Morandir is not a condescending person. You may not know us as well as you think, and many of us are quite sensitive, prone to melancholia, and/or dealing with much physical suffering. Please do not stir the waters with any "outsider" (your word) misconceptions of your own.
I mean you no offense whatsoever. This is really a pretty drama-free forum, and a very mutually supportive one. Even the best of families can on occasion get on each others' nerves -- it passes.
Pax.
