Better to support the lens separately than to put that extra torque on the mount. I still do that with all of my cameras ... but of course you can hold yours any way you want to.
When I'm in the field it is not often possible to hold the camera and move with both hands... sturdy grip is much smarter. These things aren't cheap to replace if dropped.
You can keep trying to ram your opinion down my throat, but I'm holding my ground because I know you're one who can't stand other, differing opinions.
