I wonder how the fans feel about this, and other times, when MP has used the "all for the fans" reasons behind what he does? I know I wouldn't appreciate being used as a reason for this type of behaviour.
Personally, if it's that bad I'd rather have them cancel the show and get well. Worst-case scenario: What if MP dies on-stage cuz he didn't want disappoint the fans? I'd be pretty upset to know that he'd put his own health/life in danger just to please me and the other fans rather than get things taken care of. We're not going to riot, he's not Axel Rose not showing up for no reason, we would understand and we would be there for the re-schedule.
It seems like they're trying to blame everyone else but themselves for this. Trying to find any way to justify an un-justifiable situation. Now they're saying the paramedics told MP to go to the hospital, so it's their fault. What if they said to just give you fluids and you'll be ok and then you get seriously sick cuz you should have gone to the hospital? Then it would be their fault also since they should have erred on the side of caution.
I'd be willing to bet most of us have been to an ER and been upset about something there, gone home and bitched to friends and family a little, then gotten over it. It took time, thought, and effort for MP to make the original post which means there was time for second thoughts and personal review so it was 100% pre-meditated. And then to retaliate against others takes more time, thought, and effort and now his wife and Neal Morse and even people that work at the hospital are also involved.
There are many great posts in this thread of how MP *could* have respectfully vented and nobody would be saying anything so it's not like MP had to keep it shut altogether.
"It's not *what* you say, it's *how* you say it."
Just when I think MP has moved on or chilled-out something always seems to happen.
