This was very moving. Thanks for posting it. I have to say I thought they couldn't sink any lower, but some of the comments section APPALLED me. How could someone listen to this & then make crass homophobic take-downs? I KNEW by some of YOUR posts that some of this was around, but the CRUELTY is unconscionable! I encourage you to wield your block button like a sword. It takes courage to persevere in what you're doing, Clint & I appreciate your doing it.
Oh, I can only imagine what some of the commenters are saying. YouTube does a HORRIBLE job moderating in my opinion.
I will say about 80% of my comments are kind and positive. Often heartfelt and inspiring. But that other 20% can go zuck themselves. Can't imagine what it must be to be a truly public figure. The cacophony of opinions can get overwhelming and I don't even show my face. lol
I don't understand the urge to hurt strangers on the internet. If I don't like or agree with someone, I go find someone I do like and (mostly) agree with. Seems simple to me. But ughs are gonna ugh. Hateful asshats.
Thanks for being always kind and supportive, Tom. Cheers!
As someone who has experienced the loss of both parents, many friends and most recently my beloved grandson it's a pain that's so overwhelming it seems better to just block the memory away to protect yourself. It's very brave to share that pain with anyone and to read other people cruel resonances is beyond horrible and should not be tolerated.
As for the cruel, it seems to me hateful, hurt people like to spread hate and hurt to others instead of working on/through their own stuff. So I do my best to block them out—by playing Whack-A-Troll—in real life and online.

My condolences, Craig, to you and your family.
