Cumong, man. At least let the man have 100 points since they're broken and he can't earn any.

With all the points WD accumulated being the whistleblower for the Dave Brandon scandal, you would think the mods would cut him a little bit of slack.  

I have always liked WD and the content that he brings to the board, but I do think he has some anger control issues and it looks like that may have brought about his undoing and unexpected trip to Bolivia.

calling it a whistleblower is a bit extreme.  dude was a jerk to him over email which is not a good look, and probably a cherry on top of what was about to be a firing anyways.  

he has a lot of knowledge, but I agree with the many that he is a little too self important who is completely lacking self awareness. 

goodwill or not, you don't bring kids into it, and you don't wish harm to people on a message board, the bolivia'ing for both was justified

You weren't actually depressed; it was made up depressed. 

You act like depression can be cured.  It cannot.  It can be managed, etc.  It's disrespectful to people who have true mental challenges that you sell it this way.

Rather, it was another in your long line of "look at me" posts.

Nope... and if you've ever had to take care of someone who is truly depressed, you'd understand.

Saying one is depressed just to get attention is just as bad as having a disagreement with someone and coming to the ridiculous stretch of deductive reasoning that their kid is going to be screwed up later in life.

Wow. Recently, I noted in a few comments that WD should start providing links to his sources, and I don't know if he read my comments or not, but in his last couple posts he had the links. I thought this was a good sign of his growth, so to see this happen, I'm just left thinking, hmmm....
