Erm I have never once read any of these posts where he talks about his mental illness. The first I heard of it was when Um spoke about it last night. I am frankly amazed that you describe him as a dammed good poster. To my mind he is the worst poster on here, continually making snide comments at others, being downright insulting to darren about the cancer issues, sending offensive PMs, being rude and insulting, making veiled insults towards MLT and more obvious insults to the likes of Pearson and others and generally rubbing people up the wrong way by his overly aggressive and hugely negative posting style.
I like you nick even though I disagree with you on a whole host of issues because generally you are able to debate things in a sensible manner without being personally insulting. 19C or whatever he decides to call himself is unable to do this and so mental illness or not, I think it would be better for himself and for most posters on here if he stopped posting.
