I am not aware of anyone having a negative reaction to Jason. Maybe I missed it. Many here have opinions that differ from his on specific subjects, but no one that I know of considers that a negative in and of itself. It is a positive for there to be a variety of online opinions on such matters. Healthy discussion and all that. Jason posts in this forum once in a while, shows an amazingly great attitude toward posters here, and is even a bit of a, um, poster boy for a few of the females here of a certain age, it seems. Running joke, that.
Not all are, so we tend to be vocal and push back on some of his points in protection of newbies and those less informed who might take his every whim as gospel, but we don't actually push against him. I mean, how could anybody not appreciate his helpful attitude and willingness to engage? Particularly exemplary for a tuber. I strongly disagree with some of his points, but I don't consider him dangerous, unlike . . .
He had a very public meltdown and name-calling session as a negative reaction to some on this forum when he posted here and in some of his online videos. I did my best to give him the benefit of the doubt, myself. But I have since written him off as a noisy dog-and-pony show. Hey, just me. LIve and let live. Hope some find him helpful, in spite of himself.
Not every post by anyone will always be perfectly clear. But I'm sure the board appreciates your apologetically parsed clarification. Communication styles differ. Other than my wishy-washiness, most of the frequent posters around here seem to lean toward unedited reaction with rifle-shot clarity and directness, which is sometimes easily misinterpreted as anger, animosity, or belligerent rancor.
Hopefully a few lurkers got something out of the thread, too.
May your therapy continue to go well, sir.
