And with that I wonder what the motives are? So your saying that people on
this list are assuming the role of surrogate parent to Rohit? Isn't that
just a tad disrespectful? Are you saying that Rohit is to stupid to figure
it out for himself? Or his upbringing is lacking? Or he is to fragile and
will be shattered by life's experiences?
It's one thing to see a friend in crisis and intervene. This seems to be
another.
