Kent ~

My inner voice says **WARNING! DO NOT ENGAGE!**, But I want to ask you something.

What makes you happy? Honestly, I am in no way trying to bait you. What brings your soul (Assuming you believe in one since there is no PROOF) joy. I see in a post below that now you have decided to go after the validity of Jesus, citing a lack of solid proof. That is what prompted me to wonder if you can really be a happy person. I know you have been through a great many adversities, but you seem to be in a constant state of agitation. What calms your mind and your spirit?

If you could, try to answer that question, without a trace of politics, conspiracy, anger, CAPS or invoking anyone else from the board I think maybe you can present a KDB that does not seem so very angry and paranoid. I know if I carried the things that you seem to, I would be a basket case, deep in my root cellar, always waiting for the other, other shoe to drop. You are a human being, you can be funny (intentionally), and maybe a little insight into a Kent we don't see or hear too often, can begin an effort to humanize you the person as opposed to KDB the frenetic poster. I realize that you said there was some family emergency, so if you want to think on this and respond later that’s fine.

Thanks for indulging me. I am sincere when I say that this question comes from the heart, with absolutely no ulterior motive.

Thank you

PS: For the record...The TICK part of my "handle" is a nod to The Tick character Created by Ben Edlund. A character so very pure he can't help but spread joy. http://www.thetick.ws/
