Sounds like you have written him off. Good for you. As I was reading I was thinking of ways to reply but you covered them ALL by the time I got to the end of your post.

Especially the deal with the "depressed" comment... if he thinks that is a judgemental, i.e. derogatory term, is he going to just be another that judges you for that character flaw?

I love your imagined response. I would not have the willpower to keep from sending it in a ranting email. The fact that you recognize that just letting it drop is best for your own sanity is something to be very proud of.

The more I read about this the more I can confirm that you are in no way a "loser". You've just got some really unhealthy and negative people nearby, maybe your depression makes them stand out more from anything that might be positive in your life, but the people you describe do sound like downers.
