Amichai – I am sure that there is a back story – maybe something to do with that guys own family history or a particular shiva experience he had. But I am just curious if anyone knows what the back story is.

But for argument’s sake, let’s say I agree with you – in that case, when I started a conversation with him, why did he run away? Also, I want to know the story. I was also mid-conversation when he interrupted – so why do this.
Clearly, this person has a back story behind it. Are you trying to tell me that he feels to many people are flouting halacha when making a shiva visit?
