the doctors dragged their heels, from Monday to Friday - so Kenneth, by Weds, was getting afraid that Mae, without the Medical treatment, would not make it, went public
Those are your words, not mine. But as you indicated earlier, I may not comprehend well.
are you the "judgmc" for today -
A couple of points. First whenever you mention a poster by screen name, especially in a derogetory way, it is common courtesy to ping him. Second, please don't blame those of us who urged a bit of caution until more information was available--while you and others had reached all the conclusions you apparently needed. I know some of the questions were embarrassing, especially after the lynch mob had found out that it was not needed. Still, if you prefer only "ditto" threads so that everyone feels good about his posts with no questions asked, then perhaps Jim will change the rules of the board. Until then, you will just have to put up a few of us even if it makes you a tad uncomfortable.
EVERYONE DO NOT FEED MACVSOG68
I hae to say
I don't mind questions. I don't mind caution.
What gets irritating- is when some people just want to play round robin.
I have answered questions, then end up back in the smae place with people. I also hate when some people say things like "SHE NEVER HAD A FEEDING TUBE! KEN LIED"
I have yet to hear Ken say that- not have I seen him write it.
It's that stuff that is ridiculous- I am not saying you have done that-- just kinda explaining my POV.
Then you get the KEN IS A DEM.
Blah blah blah...
Questions are good.
nipping at heals for attention is childish..
You answered, in a long diatribe:
"A couple of points. First whenever you mention a poster by screen name, especially in a derogetory way, it is common courtesy to ping him. Second, please don't blame those of us who urged a bit of caution until more information was available--while you and others had reached all the conclusions you apparently needed.

Until then, you will just have to put up a few of us even if it makes you a tad uncomfortable."
all that from my little query? And what was negative about It? Are you falling victim to "if the shoe fits?"
Let's run by a few statements of yours again
"while you and others had reached all the conclusions you apparently needed. I know some of the questions were embarrassing, especially after the lynch mob had found out that it was not needed. Still, if you prefer only "ditto" threads so that everyone feels good about his posts with no questions asked, then perhaps Jim will change the rules of the board."
now THAT sounds derogatory...(correct spelling)
you also said , in your previous post:
"you gave the impression that Ken's actions (post hearing) somehow resulted in the ultimate conclusion. In fact what you said was that the doctors were deliberately dragging their feet, and that Ken somehow got things straightened out"
what I said was, in reply to some who were bashing Ken for going public, "so Kenneth, by Weds, was getting afraid that Mae, without the Medical treatment, would not make it, went public"
Those were my words. I am a professional writer. Words are my tools of trade so I am careful how I word things. You have changed the words - thus the meaning.
One last puzzle - You accuse me of saying "Because the Freepers made them do it! Oh please!"
I sure don't remember ever saying that - nor can I find where I did. Got me mixed up with someone else, maybe?
Never mind. Rhetorical.
I see no sense in more dialog between us. Just wanted to clear the board for others to understand I did not say what was purported. Have a nice one.
