I've been incredibly vocal about my stance on depression here on HN in the past, specifically that saying things like "man up" is absurd.
And this is exactly why this article from TC needs to be banned from HN. The article suggests Aaron asked for help because he was depressed. This is simply NOT true. First, it was submitted by sethbannon[1] and second, nowhere on the website do I see anything directly from Aaron asking for help[2]. The fund is overseen by Bettina Neuefeind and funds go directly to pay legal costs.
I need to leave HN soon if this is the type of shit that continues to get over 400 points and sticks on the top of the frontpage for hours.
blhack - I'm not blaming you for any of this, hopefully your not taking this as an attack against your specific comment.
