Yeah... Chief has learned he doesn't like the taste of leather (or crepe or rubber or Toe-Jam...) LOL
. But if anyone is adept at explaining, and pulling that foot out of their mouth, it's the Chief. He will also apologize if he misread/misunderstood... A rarity around here, sometimes. ;-)

Daniel, I so agree with you and how to handle things. I remained open as long as I could only to have the mob take over. He never had a chance to defend himself or explain since there were three hours of condemnation before he came online. I noticed 2 things right off that made me cautious, but I would have liked to ask him. The services were at different times. When I asked, he switched to suicide talk. It is not possible to fly a plane in his condition whether military or civilian -- liabilty. A neighbor of mine thought he was a civilian or a military enlisted person as an airplane or helicopter mechanic. He spends way too much time on the computer to be a military officer, muchless a general. If his partner really died, and we all have different types of grieving, and I tried to keep my mind open throughout, this would still be tragic. He said a gay bishop performed the services. We have no idea where he was going to go with this or why. I wish there were questions first.

Yes, it is pretty obvious that he was not a general in the army. I would be worried if US generals spent all their time on AB, even while they are flying military missions! I tend to be very sceptical of these kinds of claims. But people seem to feel that his misrepresentation in this respect is unassailable proof that he lied about his wife's death, which is not only fallacious logic but actually, in this case, very unlikely. I can provide a long list of people who are CLEARLY not exactly (or even remotely) who they say they are on AB. It doesn't mean I don't engage with them, listen to what they have to say, or empathise with them. There is usually a kernel of truth. I would be surprised if the stone-throwers in this incident have always been 100% honest in their self-representation on AB.

How very true. I have asked a few when the answer was not meant to be humorous or sarcastic and they were proud of their lies. I also don't like the idea of people under 18 using the site. If all of them were under 18, I might give them the chance to grow up; but I'm afraid they aren't.

Daniel... Wrong Anonymous. You MUST look at their profiles to keep them separate. THIS one was Major Tom. Oh... Sorry... I'd JUST read MT's at http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/8253424 . I see what you mean, now. Sorry, again.
