Good day everyone. So much to do, I haven't seen Phil or his shadow today. But a digital round of coffee could do us all wonders (and check your mail boxes at work for actual coffee). And I'd like to float a name to reintroduce to our network society. I've given them a second chance, and they've done well. But it'll never truly be one unless they interact with people outside our types. And any person who comes back to us does more good than simply removing them from play. I'm an example of that. Grant Ward is ready for this, to speak with people not entirely like us. I'd just like him to be able to post without causing you to lose your coffee. Which by Thor I hope hasn't happened now either. But there's more if you need it.

	What Phil are we talking about? It takes a lot for me to lose my coffee. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Coulson. The groundhog. Anyone named Phil actually. There has been a dearth of Phil's in my life today. But the person I'd like to give free access to the network to is Grant Ward. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If he's posting publicly there's a dozen people that can keep an eye on him and I suspect you've got an eye on the less public parts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Where do you assess his current potential as a risk? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Filter chernaya 2016-02-03 05:16 pm UTC (link)
	There is always risk. His greatest risk in this regard is his potential to become obsessive, either over an old trigger or to develop a new one. It could lead to backsliding and a downward spiral. However, it's also a space I can observe and will be alert to. And see coming should it go that way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Those he is obsessed with, their allies, and their loved ones. However, I am prepared to put a bullet in his brain should it come to that. And I know him better than he does. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	There was a time that I would have said absolutely not but he has earned back Skye's trust and he has your trust as well. So I will give him the benefit of the doubt. I don't have any problems with him posting on the network. I also know that you will be on top of anything that might possibly become an issue. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	His development with Skye is one of the reasons I'm moving forward with this step. It had to come first. I take that responsibility. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I trust both you and Skye to be honest with me so if you're comfortable with this then I am as well. And just for the record, I didn't see my shadow yesterday although I don't think that counts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If I hadn't been comfortable, it wouldn't be on the table. Phils: 2. Shadows: 0. You do still have a shadow though, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's proof that I need coffee that I thought Punxsutawney Phil rather than Coulson. I know Ward's basic story, but what should we do in terms of interacting with him? Monitoring him in some capacity is a given, but being who some of us (SHEILD and Avengers, moreso than myself) are and doing what we do, would it be better to avoid him for the time being? (Reply to this) (Thread)

Both are valid choices.

Just be honest about it with him. If you're interacting to judge or to monitor him, let him know. He's smart enough to figure it out, and it's better for his development to be up front. But those conversations don't need to be constant with each of you. The point isn't for him to be a bug under a microscope but to broaden his horizons. But you have no obligation to talk with him.
