I didn't disagree with you. You don't have to prove anything to anybody. I still think that saying people are family supporters just for asking questions is a bit too much.

I don't trust many people eother, not the family for sure, but that's why we need to be careful not to sound like them who make stories up.

And no, I am not saying you are making stories. I am referring to what I've been writing about all day long, not to repeat stories, even if they turn out to be true, until there is tangible and readily available evidence.

Case in point, your story. If I were to repeat it as a fact when you have not produced evidence... shame on me. And remaining silent doesn't imply I believe or not, just that I am respectful of a time-honored conduct of not passing around gossip. Forgive me if I call your story gossip, but that is what it is, gossip, until evidence comes out. People can believe or not your story, it is our choice, but it becomes petty and wrong to repeat it as if it were comfirmed truth. Am I repeating myself too much? I'll stop here.
