The thread is not about you or your ostensible expertise. You are not helping; you are trying to sell us on how knowledgeable you believe you are at the expense of someone else’s discomfort. Stop it.
I have no ostensible expertise. I am just a fellow human who has interacted with miserably paranoid people before.
I don’t plan on stopping commenting when I see fit. This is an opinion forum. I hope falcon gets someone he trusts to assess the threat with him. Sounds like the priest and security guards and police don’t see an issue. Unless they are all in on a big conspiracy, paranoia is a definite possibility. And telling the truth with kindness and reassurance is the kindest thing to do in that case.
