There are more reasons than that to stop a career like that: E.g. PTSD, injury, burnout, other career and lifestyle choices, etc. there’s absolutely no need to be so rude.

He literally asked if he got ptsd from it or if he just retired from age.

Yeah, I re-read the thread today and realised I misread his original comment. He was just being crass, and not rude, and I’ve edited a comment in a different place to acknowledge that. edit: forgot to add, you make a good point, thanks for pointing out my mistake
