>I didn't claim knowledge, it's just speculation.

"I can testify that is downstream of too many donuts."

The above statement - specifically saying you TESTIFY - does not sound like speculation; it sounds like you are speaking as a matter of fact.

I fail to see what if anything, positive you thought would come from that post? You're in a thread where people are mostly positively remembering someone they respected and you essentially jumped in and said "yeah but the guy killed himself with his eating".... like you really think that's a good idea?

You might think you're doing some greater good - but there is a time and a place for everything - the message you're trying to send isn't going to land in this sort of environment, it's just going to piss people off and have you appear to be disrespectful.

I can testify that metabolic disease is downstream of too many donuts. I earned it one bite at a time. Don't be like me, eat the whole food instead.
