yes. well stated.

I never intended in any way for this to come across as though I was condemning the guy or that he's in any way "bad" - it's clear he's got a good heart. just stuck at a certain development level. and there's reflections the situation brings up for myself to question my own flaws. I had hoped that came through with the balanced perspectives throughout the entire piece, though could understand if some readers missed that.

either way, your comment is gold.
