"Winston Churchill called his own bouts of depression “my black dog,”"

What a man. Next to him everybody looks like a wuss.

I don't understand why this statement attracted angst.

I am merely saying that Winston Churchill is a forthright character and a particularly resilient one at that.

No, you weren't "merely" saying that - you added on a general criticism of everyone else. Don't be disingenuous.

It's easier to vote someone down rather than formulate a rational premise as to what objectionable in your post.

trigger warning: Churchill did have a lot to be depressed about, one of them being the firebombing of German cities.
