Maybe he just didn't frequent the right fora??
I have to say I enjoyed his posts, wit and relaxed moderating style. I voted for him in the Talkboard elections as I thought he was a great asset to the FT community.
Regardless of the circumstances, someone taking their life is shocking and sad, and I am stunned that some on FT seem do be deriving some form of schadenfreude from his "comeuppance".
He would have been on my list of 5 FTers I'd like to meet. RIP B Watson.
