At this stage I don't feel like bashing Richie though. Something tells me he had good reason to leave. I'll be the first to call him a dick if he left because of an argument.

If it was a mental health issue, I wouldn't be surprised; just consider all of his weird Tweets and the long silences both at the beginning of this and again now (11 days and counting). Something sounded "off" (remember 'Tip-top and smiling'?).
Unfortunately, unlike a physical health problem, mental health problems are still stigmatized and I could see where Richie would want to keep it quiet, if that's what's going on.
On the other hand, it if is indeed a clash of egos, then I would see those same Tweets (and Jon's responses in interviews) like a game of cat-and-mouse, where they are passive-aggressively calling each other out in the media, just to see who will crack first. If that's the case, then that's truly childish. If that's the case, they need to sit in a room with a mediator (like the New Jersey era) and hash it out.
