From what I recall, Josh was given a very difficult time by several members who werent amused by his presence. If its the same Josh, I recall a few instances where members would say psychics didnt work for them and Josh would fervently defend the psychics almost to the point of blaming the users for the reading not working. Even when he made genuine comments he was attacked. I do recall coming to his defense a time or two. But apparently the lenses of nostalgia will recall people from the past more warmly than was the reality.
I think your assessment is correct, Professor. I do remember that he definitely tried to be encouraging. Emotions tend to run high on this forum, which is to be expected since the majority of the posts deal with matters of the heart. When emotions run high, comments can be taken very personally. I hope he’s doing well, wherever he is. His posts are now part of the catacomb of this forum, a time capsule of hopes and fears before the reality and the outcome were ascertained.
