We've *kinda* known each for a long time, haven't we.   A lot of people remember that.  I still smile when I think about it.  I somehow knew a dumb joke like that would create a stir, especially back then, when the place was so serious and everyone had their best mask on.  

I care.  I try to talk people down from those steemicides.  I remember *skeptic* went off the deep end and I felt like a dad with the tough love treatment.  I didn't want things to get worse.  I knew they could do better.  

I care, and sometimes that makes me look like a huge asshole as well.  That part, I don't care about.
