Yes. Maybe in the past they would've felt safe talking to him but certainly not right now because they all think he is being stubborn and irrational.
I responded to an email he sent me earlier about the weekend. I mentioned that I was hoping he would reconsider going to college town - that I felt D really wanted him to go and he should think about it - and that he would definitely be useful. I didn't ask for a decision, just mentioned it. He did not reply (of course).
