Having said that, I do find the fact that they have done a bit ... suggestive.
No it's not. Don't be a dick (obv you know mean that non aggressively and as friendly face (so tis not taken out of context or meaning)) . What was being said about him in the virtual realm was having an effect on him IRL, negatively.
What we do, whether support or breakdown each other 'on here' has an effect on us out there. We're not just avatars or forum names, we actually know and should respect irl.

It seems you are privy to information that I am not.
Having only interacted virtually and seen very few interactions on here calling out repeated obvious falsehoods I did what I did.
If there was a pattern of repeated things being "said about" them, I didn't see it. Which may well be my bad.
From my PoV it looked as if they flounced after a very small number of call outs.
If I'm wrong then that's bad and I apologise.
If everything they said was true then I apologise even more. But I just don't believe that, I'm afraid.
Of course I know that people on here are real. Sixteen years here, hundreds of friendships made, funerals and weddings attended, children held, tears shed and more laughs and hugs than I can possibly recall are a testament to that.
But this is a virtual space. We judge and react to people based on what is typed here. Yes we give benefit of the doubt, to a point. But we also act with honesty and forthright words. Such has always been the credo here.

That's a really nice thing to hear about. Thanks for sharing. I hope your recovery is still going well?
I'm still motivated to call out questionable behaviour in the virtual realm of people who perform selfless acts of kindness in the physical one. I'm not sure why I wouldn't, which seems to be a possible implication of your posting this?
I didn't ask or suggest that SH should flounce. I wish he hadn't, for a variety of reasons.
