It would not be the first time that real-world personal animosities have spilled over to FlyerTalk (and vice versa).

Likewise, an analysis of the posts by B Watson may indeed reveal insight into his state of mind that may have evidentiary value in civil or criminal cases arising out of this affair.

Finally, as someone who just learned of the demise of the late moderator, I might ask if it would be possible to unlock the thread in this forum that was moved to Community?

Beyond discussion of his alleged fraud, which is a national issue affecting many, many people (other than Flyer Talkers), I would suspect that the issue of depression arises more among heavy computer users than those with well-balanced lives.

The continuation of the now-locked thread could serve as a support to other Flyer Talkers who are having problems out there, and out of his suicide, some good preventative efforts in the Flyer Talk community may arise.
