What I don’t want to trivialize is requests not to be posted to. My preference, however, is to keep lines of communication open, and I appreciate that he does that -- and that the post of his that led to the DNP fell in an area that was (and still is) grey.
I hope this doesn't keep him from returning.

Making a personal sacrifice can be seen as an especially strong show of support, and trying to effect change I know can feel futile.
