His WAS a freeper name that stood out...

And I liked to click on his posts when his name popped up in the "most recent" section... I liked his sense of humor and his measured rationality and his various observations on current affairs. I thought he was a very interesting person.

His depressive tendencies would reveal on occassion, I can remember in particular one thread about women not having children, his comments were very sad and dark and he was adamant about not wanting to pass on certain genetic or epigenetic frailties to another generation.

I confess I think I understand him better, now that I am facing the prospect that I perhaps have passed on a mitochondrial mutation that could cost my son his eyesight.

I thought it wasn't my place then to try and cajole him out of a dark place. That won't happen again. Next time I will make contact and talk to a person I can see is troubled by depression.

God keep him safe in your arms.
