    Get back to writing, far more important things going on in the world.

    No sir, I dissent. Nothing is more important. We are a community, and you are a prominent member of it. Yes, we will write. Yes, we will discourse. But no, we’ll not put you far from our minds. You’ve given much to this community, and the least we can do to pay you back is put you in our thoughts and wishes and intentions, and for those who pray, our prayers.

    You fight this thing with both hands and every weapon available. We’ve got your back, Andrew.Report
