It's conceivable the whole thing is a put-on, I suppose, designed to get us all upset. But there's something not right with a person who would try to pull that kind of stunt in the first place. Given all the physical threats, even if it's just alarmism, it's warranted. The potential consequences if nothing is done and he really is having a psychotic break could be vastly worse than if the authorities were called in and it turned out to be a hoax. <snip> > IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF RICK CAN RESPOND AS TO WHAT HE IS > DOING, IF ANYTHING, SO EFFORTS ARE NOT OVERLAPPING OR > COUNTER PRODUCTIVE TO EACH OTHER. I don't have the sense Rick quite gets how serious this could be. Emails to Ravi asking how he's doing are not likely to accomplish anything useful.
