I think there's a real lesson to learn from Terry which was perhaps magnified by both his personality and this community. The truth is that there are people all around us that suffer from various degrees (and types) of mental illness. Some are undiagnosed while others feel they need to hide their diagnosis due to shame and/or public stigma. I appreciated that Terry didn't hide who he was, nor did he shy away from saying what he thought. As pointed out elsewhere on this thread, some of his comments could be offensive while others could be brilliant. What we can learn from Terry's contribution here is that, we don't know what demons others here are fighting and sometimes tolerance can be a very charitable gift - not tolerance of abhorrent comments but rather tolerance of the individual.
IMO your comment (and others) show to me why privacy is such an important thing.
Shame is one thing, and IMO already reason enough to want privacy but one could argue that it's debatable.
Being bullied, however, (as stated in another comment) really shows why privacy is needed. Even if you get all the praise in the world, if you get too much negativity, one can die from it (most likely indirectly). I find it very harsh and unfortunate to say, but this seems to be the case. While everything is debatable, I could imagine that not everyone thought about this particular reason (I haven't nor have I ever read this from privacy advocates) and find it a more compelling reason to uphold privacy.
RIP Terry!
