This same thread is taking place on every cycling forum. It goes like this:
1. Person starts thread to report info
2. Users chime in with opinions stating that Hamilton is an idiot and a disgrace
3. Others counter this with arguments stating how difficult it is to deal with depression and inside knowledge that previous posters could never understand
4. Sensible people post sense which gets lost in the "You don't understand depression-Yes I do-No you don't-Who cares".
5. Depression people give glimpses into their own lives that add nothing then get po'ed when others point this out
6. Thread totally derails
7. People wonder where the thread went wrong
8. Repeat

I hate to point this out . . . but this is one INANE argument.
1. There are no isolated incidents. (Especially when you then immediately argue that the incident should not be seen in isolation from his "condition." Huh? Should we only isolate this incident from the things you want it isolated from? Dumb Dumb Dumb)
2. Should we only punish cheerful dopers? Only the well-adjusted? Where do you draw the line? (I think Landis was pretty depressed after getting blasted the stage before his got-caught stage.)
As I said, this is inane. And the baffling thing? Pcad had very little to do with the train leaving the tracks!

Feeling empathy is not synonymous with excusing.
