The next post down (by someone else) clarifies unequivocally:

To: freespirited; Jim Robinson; Dolphy; All
Starving a living, breathing creature, to death, is cruel and inhumane. There are *no* BUTS or overriding factors about it.

Take away guardianship.
Take away stated or otherwise wishes.
Take away brain condition.
Take away doctors' evaluations and labels.
Take away hospital/hospice care received.
Take away family dynamics.
Take away politics.
Take away law, lawyering, and judges' rulings.
Take away any and all debate.

An innocent, defenseless, living, breathing human being is purposefully being starved to death. They are not pulling any true life support *plug.*

Any member of a decent society rightly considers death by starvation to be cruel and inhumane. There is simply no way around that very base, simple, naked statement.

The way I read what he posted is that JimRob contributed to the thread. I did not see any posting that said, "agree with me or you're out on your ear"?

JimRob's got a tough row to hoe at times. He's a FReeper, but he also has to run FR. Not easy at times.
