Lyon V Brownless Stoush

[Mav]

And that worm Pell can't even give the victims the satisfaction of seeing him answer questions in person ...

I'd hope no one is minimising mental health issues.  Rather, most suspect that Lyon doesn't deserve to use that phrase when there are many who deserve our sympathy much more, including you and your former schoolmates. Reactive depression resulting from being caught doing something dishonourable or illegal doesn't compare at all with the situation you've described.  It might lead to suicidal feelings, however, and obviously at that level it needs to be addressed.
