 @ CasLiber:  has been blocked by . That makes twice he has been blocked, once by you and once by her. 

 He posted first on your talk page on 13 January 2011 raising the issue of 'Sorrowing Old Man', the first time he has posted on Wikipedia on this issue. Your reply is above, saying it had been discussed before and that a commentary had been found linking the image to depression. Skirtopodes asked you to point to that commentary, but you did not reply. 

 I have looked through the archive and can find no such commentary. The only source I can find is the one quoted above, but that, as Skirtopodes pointed out, is in fact an academic paper to do with sterotypes which in no way seeks to support the thesis that van Gogh suffered from clinical depression.  

 There is no ""commentary"". That is a fiction. 

 I did find this from you Talk:Major_depressive_disorder/Archive_4#Illustrations 

 ""Yeah, good point. The painting is rather a good one (of a sad person, that is), unfortunately Van Gogh had other mental health symptoms suggesting problems other than depression. OK, let's leave it open for a little bit but removing I think I agree with. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) "" 

 So why is it still here, why did you change your mind? 

 Looking at Talk:Major_depressive_disorder/Archive_4#Illustrations I get the impression (the large downer smiley) that you consider the whole business a bit of a joke. Is that so? 

 I am trying to understand your motives here. Do you perhaps regard yourself as something of an authority on Vincent van Gogh? On his health? Perhaps you have published a dissertation or an academic paper? Or perhaps you regard yourself as something of an art critic? Do you perhaps post in Wikipedia on the visual arts? Do you have any association with editors who do that might lead to conflicts of interests? Perhaps you have patients who are artists or art critics that might lead to similar conflicts of interests? In short, what is this all about? 

 I trust you will agree there has been adequate time for you to respond here and that if you do not do now respond adequately, then the assumption must be that you do not intend to. 

 I am posting this on the IP address that  blocked and I will copy to your talk page. 

 Thank you.   "
