Nathan's choices are his own.
The only thing we know of this is what he has presented in his
videoblog. I certainly do not claim to have any facts on the matter
other than what I've seen in his recent video posts.
I think Nathan is a well-meaning person, and a generally smart guy.
Sometimes smart people make dumb mistakes. Perhaps telling people on
your vidoeblog that you snort cocaine in front of your kids (while
smoking a joint in front of the camera) is one of those mistakes
(whether or not the actions admitted are true or false).
I like Nathan as a person, and it seems like he's going through some
very rough times. I may wish him the best, but I don't know if I can
blindly say that I support him.
