A few months ago, I reckon I'd have been really upset by his messages, but I don't feel like that about them at all - just slightly pissed off that he's taking up my valuable time. He doesn't have a leg to stand on, I'm 100% confident that I've done my job properly.
Not sure why my attitude to things like that has changed recently. Maybe it's the Citalopram (although I'm only on 10mg a day now). Or maybe, along with all the changes in my life, my emotional reactions to events have changed too.

Obviously these people haven't a clue. He tore them to shreds on-air for the full two hours of his final show yesterday.

Likely to be replaced by some bland musings over the local news headlines of the day - just like every other show on the channel.

I read about that in the Telegraph. They were quite down on him, accusing him of self-indulgence and essentially stating that it happens to everyone in that business so he should just get on with it.
I actually thought, 'good on DB'! If they can discontinue a popular show without a clear view of how they plan to fill the slot, particularly considering their replacing a living radio legend, they deserve to fail.

His was their top show on the channel and the shows occupied the top five listen again slots for that channel on iPlayer. Considering he could walk into a more highly paid gig anywhere else, but simply loved doing his Treehouse show on there, it seemed bizarre to boot him at the top of his game and popularity on an otherwise floundering channel.
He's on the Jonathan Ross Show this friday (presumably to promote his book) so should be interesting. He's already told the BBC execs to brace themselves for his speech when he gets inducted into the radio hall of fame this week
