but it's hard to understand the urgency given that they weren't needed for some time after So, if you can answer this,did a request for the general dec start the whole thing?
It's quite obvious that it was just a catalyst in a developing situation- don't flog it to death!

What we are seeing here is the first possibility for some of you to consider that there are 2 sides to every story. HF in disagreements like this is not usually a solo developing process. There was a situation that he felt needed handling with some urgency. Whether you agree with that is immaterial- at the end of the day, it is an internal United process of no business of any interferers. Perhaps we could all review our tendency to leap to instant judgements over a keyboard and loudly trumpet them. The forest of 'thumbs-down; signals here were blinding, but now we hear the gladiator who was condemned to instant dispatch may have a side to his story.......like your own Rainboe was trying to say all along.

He may still be judged wrong, in which case he will go with a monumental settlement. He really has done nothing 'wrong'. It may be judged 'not the best course of events', but that is sub-judice now. The reason I made 42 posts in this thread (and counting) is that in all the howls of accusation, there was hardly anybody else talking of the possibility that just maybe, he had a case to make.
