That's a lot of nooners.
In before WD prematurely ejaculates.
exactly did he leave the board? It seems in the couple weeks I wasn't on the board, he vanished. I know everyone busts his chops, but what in his mind crossed the line so badly that he banished himself from the board?
You piqued my interest so I decided to check his Twitter, and now I feel bad.
It's been a complete 180 since this tweet 4 weeks ago.

I made many changes in my life for the better and now I'm kicking depression's ass https://t.co/pRW25oMpTM
Wow. Hate to hear that.
While sometimes his zeal can be a bit overboard, I think the board is a worse place without WD.
Right dude, like that really means a lot compared to one's health.
Only if he is a White Russian. Otherwise, no.
I can't relate to his extreme fandom, but he seems to have at least a halfway-pleasant personality. Nice enough guy ...
On (side) topic: I've known several high-functioning people with significant depression problems (enough to make be believe it's a prerequisite for success in certain fields).
I wonder if one of the changes he made was to leave mgoblog? If so good for him and hope he continues to fight his depression.
I think somebody created a parody account.
Bec.ause somebody created a parody WD account and then created a parody WD apparel thread which got about 150+ responses before it was pulled down. WD felt bullied and was upset the mods didnt react quicker to the thread.
Right or wrong that's why he's gone with the exception of posting threads on non-revenue sports. Still not quite sure what resolution (if any) he's looking for but long story short he's unhappy with the mods lack of action.
In all fairness, the mock-apparel thread was hilarious.
Unfortunate if that's what drove him away.
He's in the right. This is hands-down the most uncivil forum I have participated in.
Not offended at all.
You're right, I don't participate in many. Probably about 5.
But I've seen plenty, and I'm quite aware that there are many forums less civil than this one.
I'm equally aware that there are very many forums that are far more civil, polite, understanding, and tolerant than MGoBlog. As a Michigan board, we should be among the leaders and best in this category, too, in my opinion.
Seriously, the vast majority of the posters here are Michigan fans. There are few trolls, so the disagreement stems from individual viewpoints. Read ANY MLive comment section if you want to find the end of civilization.
The noon slate usually sucks, so having a good matchup at noon makes college football better as a whole. Michigan-Ohio State being at noon will make that day much better.
Plus suck it up lmao, you can literally wake up at 11:55.
Only reason I like 3:30 is it gives me more time in Ann Arbor with friends and family. Noon gives a little less time for that.
Yeah, noon games are lame because they kill 3.5 hours of the social part of football Saturdays for me. Hopefully Air Force and Minnesota will be 3:30.
Agreed. The pre-game activities are half the fun of attending a game. Noon games kill all of that early.
After the game, everybody disperses here and there. The "spirit" of the game is gone.
On the flip side, you get like 8 straight hours of football after you leave the game. The problem with 3:30 games is that you miss the end of all the noon games. I'd much rather miss the beginning of a game than the end of a game.
Plus you miss all of the 3:30 games when there are frequently good matchups. Team noon all the way. I can get up early to tailgate if I am in MI.
EXACTLY.
For those of us out of town a noon start means we have to catch a flight the night before or wake up at the butt crack of dawn for the drive.
Noon is tradition, I get it. 3:30 is more alumni friendly.
I'll be there!
Tradition. I'm a fan.
Who supports Michigan with an EUTM, and has had some struggles with depression needs to check out the flight schedules to Bolivia
is not as though everybody knew he was having those struggles. It is a blog, the only way people can tell that you might be having some issues is if you come out and say it.
People on here don't actually dislike WD, it was tongue-in-cheek and I think most people just assumed he took it that way. If not, our collective bad, but he seemed to be "in on the joke" to me.
This is seemingly true, and he invited a lot on himself, but now that it is known, let's react accordingly.
The internet is entirely the wrong place to be if struggling with depression. It's a mood disorder i mean. Twitter can be basically just a modern diary that is shared so that might not be a "major change," but message boards and comment sections have to go. Basically any dialogue that invites hater trolls or even light ribbing
The way to deal with it is to tell people in your LIFE who might actually care enough to be respectful of your struggle. That isn't to be found on a damn blog
That and if it's *true* depression you don't have an epiphany after 4 weeks and are suddenly all better.
OTOH i don't know how much sympathy to have for someone who once used his twitter to behave as a complete monster and then mocked others on this very blog for "getting upset at what someone said on the internet"
Hopefully all the people that mocked him don't go on to post on his Twitter account.
He'll just block them.
His block list is a mile long.
That's why he's on Twitter instead of here -- WD can control the posts to his wall there... he cannot control Mgoblog.
It's not that cut and dry.
When WD runs his mouth, depression or not, that Mgoblog has gone up in smoke without him or a Michigan degree is just a piece of paper, then he's inviting some constructive criticism.
Yes, those are quotes from him.
WD, hope you are on track to be well. Place ain't the same without you.
