I had absolutely no idea this was happening, I caught it on page 8 of the index long after everything that happened had gone down.
This does to me look like something problematic might be going on health-wise. I can relate to a tiny extent: I sometimes have a harder time processing life than average due to high-functioning autism, and I reckon there are certainly circumstances and situations that might well overload my system and provoke Undefined Behavior due to the stress, but not nearly like this.
I have showdead turned on, and DrMJG_HN's posts show a truly impressive level of paranoia that I don't think I've ever seen before. My reaction is an unobjective sort of pity (for want of a better way to say it; maybe I'm referring to empathy): there's a person behind those posts, and they deserve a better frame of mind than they seem to have right now.
I reckon HN's reaction to this - and your explanation, for those who needed it - has been really great.

Besides enabling showdead in Arc's settings (for objective purposes only, I should reiterate!), I thought the most informative post in this thread was https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10489225, which mentioned https://www.reddit.com/r/timferriss/comments/3g2mjg/tim_ferr... written by livecoding.tv's cofounder.
