T.O. is an first class jerk, no if ands or buts, but to show no empathy for another human struggling like that is pretty low. To joke about it is reprehensible. Frankly, I am embarrased to be a member of this community right now.

1. Glad you caveated with the "if reports are true" because it's highly likely we're all getting worked into a tizzy over the 'ol rumor mill.
2. No one on this site is actually making fun of depression or people with depression, like your family members. It's simply a case of not giving him a "free pass" to be an ass. If Osama Bin Laden comes out and says he is depressed, do we forgive him immediately for 9/11 and give him a hug? (and you thought that the US Soldier - TO analogy was a stretch!?)
3. "Embarrased to be a member of this community"? C'mon drama queen - take a deep breath and float back down to reality, homes.
