I think you might be reading too much into his words and have possibly over-analysed his post. There are several possible interpretations of his post. Why can't you just give him the benefit of the doubt for the moment and a bit of room to grieve? If it turns out later that you are right and Kevin has some ulterior motive for posting that message here, then make a deal of it later, or at least start a whole new thread.

You might respond to me that his post is fair game. Maybe, but I just don't understand your need to rush to judgment on this particular matter. Surely you don't feel threatened or offended by his post do you? I mean, how could you since you don't even know exactly what he meant by those phrases but are only speculating.

I have no idea if Kevin is in or out of TF and you probably don't either. For all you know, this tragic event will help him break free of dependency on TF if he is still caught up in their madness. But if not, and he is convinced TF can be reformed, I don't see any harm in allowing him a brief moment to express himself here during what must be an incredibly heart-breaking time for him.

Of course, you have the right to express yourself too. I'm just saying that it strikes me as just a bit insensitive to be speculating about him in the same thread of posts where everyone else just simply acknowledges his loss and expresses sympathy for him.
