I don't need appreciation from Chris to thoroughly enjoy seeing people like Jodi Munson and Michael Hirtes screech. Though, oddly, he is appreciative on a personal level. The dude's been nothing but nice to me and isn't making any demands.
It's just sort of like, "Do you mind if I handle your mail?" He agrees, then says thank you when he can check his inbox again and actually find useful emails instead of spam. That's not a dysfunctional relationship or white knighting. He doesn't know how to handle his inbox and the literal hundreds of emails he gets a day, I do, and he appreciates me fixing that.
People who hate Chris, who assume he's just some awful fucking cunt who deserves nothing, really need to get their heads checked. He's very entitled when it comes to money but that's because he doesn't quite understand the value of a dollar. He's not asking me for money, though, and he's open to doing things to make money that require his effort.
