Suggesting that DHH should seek therapy is way out of line.

It seems that the fight has been made public with photomatt's constant commentary, at least on HN.

Unconvincing.

Matt already knows this.[0]

photomatt: "It is also unethical to publicly speculate on my medication, medical state, or mental health."

I love that people can say anything they want online. “It is unethical to publicly speculate on my mental health” is a sentence that sounds like it could be true, but it certainly is not. That’s not true! People are very much allowed to wonder out loud about extremely public behavior that has real impacts on real people.

That argument sounds more like “it is unethical to treat me as anything but God’s Special Fancy Boy, as my crusade is righteous and my foes ontologically evil”, which has the opposite effect when you’re trying to discourage people from asking “What the fuck is going on with this guy?”

I’ll refer to my previous comment on this ordeal as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41822606
