This is extraordinarily upsetting for me, and I think this news is universally saddening for the rest of us here on the wiki. I'm shattered to hear that he is in such a state because he is such a witty, intelligent and talented human being, which all comes out so wonderfully in his writing. Virtually nobody else on the wiki can make the words of the English language spin and dance like he can. He's just so immediately likeable.

Although he stands as one of our most popular users - and giants such as him always cast long and intimidating shadows on new users - he is neither vain nor pompous. He always takes time to talk with users in the most affable way possible, regardless of whether they are a new user with 90 edits or an older users with 1,000. There aren't many individuals from which kindness flows out so smoothly and easily and in such generous quantities too. And I really feel that that is an extremely endearing quality, because popularity can never truly determine an individual's strength of character, which is something your brother genuinely has.

I really hope there's a light at the end of the tunnel for him. He deserves better than this and he's too good a person to lose, and I mean that with the upmost sincerity. Hopefully, this mess will become nothing more than a small, irrelevant footnote in his life.

But thank you for notifying us, Jollun. It's extremely kind of you to be looking out for M1 in this way and I think it's a real credit to you as an individual. I'm sure we will all collectively do everything we can to ease him back into life on the wiki, since this has undoubtedly been a very painful, tumultuous and highly unpleasant bump in his life.
