I have to agree on your comments about the shooting incident. I've been (briefly) drawn into one gun control argument about it already, but more than that, the 'warning signs' are exactly as you say-- there are a lot of withdrawn, quiet people like that who would never hurt anyone. They're, still very sadly, a lot more likely just to hurt themselves in one form or another.

But I found your questions/answers very interesting, so good on foxfyre for asking probingly.

I still miss XET, even acknowledging that it can't come lurching back like a cult-raised zombie.
