Please remove it.

Your threatening PM has been captured and will be forwarded to the police.

Graham this is getting very uncomfortable especially the mention of police. I'm ex police and I've not seen any evidence of a crime.

Obviously you are not happy with a person's comments.if that comment breached the owner of the forums rules namely mnda,then surely action would have been taken.

As just a lurker for the past year to learn more about this disease, and I know I don't know you nor you me, but I believe you're possibly overreacting.

From the post you now reference, which I have read several times prior to making this post to be sure my interpretation was reasonable, I believe Matthew was referring to the fact that a nasogastric tube (nose) would be the only option for nourishment IF you decided to go that way. Personal choice that I do get either way one decides. I chose a PEG.

His other reference seemed to indicate that PEG feeding was better for your teeth than eating by mouth. Could be?

Just my opinion of course but felt I had to speak up because it does not seem to attack you in any way. It just states the obvious from a certain decision that some may make and regret and change their mind about with NG being the only option after a point.

May be irrelevant to your choices which are respected by me as they should be by all but is relevant to subject of thread.

If there is a PM that threatens harm that is regretful as I am a fan of reading this board and that includes posts from you both.

His are generally to uplift other members it seems. Seem to be said with his truth, humor, and occasionally written in a way that can be taken differently by some...

This just seems to be elevating into a bad situation that may have started from just a misunderstanding of ones words. Have been reading long enough to have seen plenty of posts from both.

Regards from another MND sufferer that won't be here posting in 11-12 years. I commend you for staying engaged as no form of this disease can be considered "a good thing" and it does need advocates to raise awareness. No harm meant on this end.

Spot on I was referring to being fed through the nose. No offence much less harm intended. Point of fact I have tried to support you Graham 🙏✌️🤘🤗xx

I think a bit like text messages and e-mails posts on here can be misread or misinterpreted. Hopefully you can have a private chat (albeit more messages between you) and resolve the misunderstanding?

I do hope so as you both seem like really nice people living with extremely difficult challenges as are so many in the MND family👍❤
