From your posts on this thread it is obvious that you take this issue personally. Just because the original posters didn't mention his medical condition doesn't mean that most of them were unaware of it or that they lacked perspective or that they were just "piling on".
I understand your point of view, and I am sure everybody else who posted on this thread does too, but frankly I think all this is out of place in this particular case.
