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..

"After all, if her feeding tube has already been reinserted, then we have no need to "call in the calvary". "

"We need to move on this and do it fast, because she's been off that feeding tube for over a week now."

I guess some were led to believe she was on a feeding tube?

Then I think we are completely in agreement, since I feel the same way. Other than the judge, I doubt if anyone here can say that Ken lied, or that she (Mae) never had a feeding tube. But then, by the same token, those who had condemned Gaddy, the judge and the hospice before any information of relevance came out would seem to fall into that category.

So far, we are in complete agreement. I've not heard that either. Which is why I was questioning another for saying it.

It's that stuff that is ridiculous- I am not saying you have done that-- just kinda explaining my POV.

And I respect your point of view, and your desire to see justice done. My only hope is that in the future, those who initially accepted one side of this issue before the whole story came out will pause a bit when the next one comes out...and it will.

Yes, I've heard that and don't know if it's true or not. I responded to one poster who asked what possible motive could Ken have for going public when he did, and my response was that if he were a Democrat operative, as some here have stated, it could serve to make conservatives look foolish. But as I pointed out, that simply anwered a speculative question about what he as a Dem might get. After all, it does seem strange to some of us that when he did go public, he left out a lot of pretty relevant information, regardless of his reasons. And without that information, a lot of needless charges and conjecture took place, including action items such as faxes and calls to numerous elected officials, etc.

Questions are good. nipping at heals for attention is childish..

But at the same time, a lot of long standing Freepers have been chastised, insulted and otherwise verbally attacked in every conceivable way over the past few weeks simply for asking those questions.

People learn very little by simply dittoing each other. Real learning comes from having to support a position and facing the questions none of the dittos would ask. It rarely comes from only those with a particular agenda, including news sources.

Group think is never healthy!
