Just a couple of days after his wife, Jane, allegedly dies of cancer, a
cancer that she concealed so very well from everyone including the customers
of her "discipline" services, and a few days after Mike is threatening people
with lawsuits which mysteriously get dropped, Mike is fine again.
In fact, Mike is so fine, that he's flirting outrageously with any woman that
so much as blinks at him. He's so fine that he's engaging in flame wars all
over the place. You'd hardly know that he ever had a wife, let alone one
that had just died a horrible death. When my mother died, my father wasn't
in much shape to be doing any of the things that Mike has been doing. He
needed time to think, to be alone, to mourn.
I know that everyone reacts differently to a loss, but Mike sure has a funny
way of mourning.
My sceptical side tells me that Mike either never had a wife, Jane, or that
she never died. Whichever it is, Mike is having us on and appears to be one
of the bigger phonies that has graced this newsgroup which has seen more than
its share of phonies. Worse still, he's not even an entertaining phony and
takes himself far too seriously.
a..a..AGREE wi..with Belle here!
Coward!!!!!!!

Dear Skeptic,
I do not know you. What Belle says is true. Deja is only showing one
posting for you under this name, at this time. That DOES cause me to
question who you might be, and why you might be choosing NOW to post.
At no time do I recall hearing EITHER Jane or Mike say that they were
husband and wife. I am NOT even certain that they had a romantic liason.
I heard Jane refer to him as a "partner" for certain. If I get around to
it, I will check my data for legalities.
I believe Jane Michaels was a live person, who underwent yet another
bout of chemo, and that she died. BAck when i was a Real Person, I did
in-home care and many of my patients were hosipce or terminal patients.
Many of those folks had cancer. What Jane posted to me,. both NG and
privately, rang true.
I do NOT know precisely what Jane's relationship was with Mike. When
*I* talked to her, it never really came up. We mostly made small talk
and joked. It certainly wasn't my business to intrude, either,
especially since it became very apparent to me that Jane was having a
really terrible time.
I certainly don't believe that legalities matter in a firm
partnership. We have all heard stories of cops who took a bullet for
their partner. Of soldiers who went back to save a buddy. Such love is
real and true and DOES NOT have to be sexual in any way.
I do not know, nor do I care, WHY Mike is engaging in flame-wars. I
frankly think it is a waste of his time and talent. Perhaps it is a way
of venting his anger. However, it's not my place to second-guess his
motives. I wish he would not flame, but then, I wish NOBODY here would
do that.
What matters to me is that Jane was real and that she and Mike cared
deeply for one another. Period.
I still don't know who you are. Nor do I really care. I do have to ask
WHY? This NG has been in a constant uproar since the end of July.
Everytime it shows some sign of settling and people being decent to each
other, someone has to kick up the bon-fire again. Just what is your
motive?
Please note, that I have been polite. I HAVE asked you some hard
questions, but I have been very direct, I have told you what I think
and why and I have not been abusive. I really DO want to hear WHY you
are persuing this, but please note that I will NOT respond to flames.

For your information sunshine, Jane and I lived under the shadow of cancer for
8 years - that is how we met - at St Vincents Hospital Sydney. Dr Anthony
Dodds, Director of Haemotology, Darlinghurst Street, Sydney 2001.
When you live like that, you are always prepared
I do not sit on my arse feeling sorry for myself like others may do.
As to keeping it rom clients, what business it is off yours. In fact most
members were informed when it became clear that things were getting difficult
for her. Do you go around telling peoole in your job you are ill? As I have
stated so many times before, everyone was offered a full refund. Those I could
not find because they had changed email addresses, I posted info stating full
refunds would be given. The checks are a business account with both my name and
Janes on the check. Oh I know..you are going to tell me that Westpac bank is in
in the conspiracy as well. To open a business bank account in Australia, you
have to prove the identities of all the parties involved, and proof of business
registration.
Once I had posted that info on 3 different groups, I am sure that if any one
asked for a refund and did not get it, they would post something to the group.
I dropped the legal action on this group, but not on another. The reason I
dropped it in this group was again clearly explained in another post. .
I am still taking action against a person on a non spanking related group.
Wife indeed.

Were you afraid to write this shit using your usual nick? Coward.

I don't give a damn. If Jane existed or didnt exist, either way it was a great
story, a sweet story. She was a fabulous character, I enjoyed her, a lot of
people did, a very different voice than Mike's-- though I enjoy him too.
So, please don't bother me trying to explain that you have cause to believe
Mike is a fake or Jane was a fake or whatever. I truly don't give two hoots
what you think about it. Think what you like. I do.

In my opinion, the veracity of Mike's story is subject to proper skepticism and is
a matter of opinion, not sockpuppetry.

I read this as saying Naomi didn't want to believe that Mike made it up,not
that she didn't believe that Jane died of cancer. Please feel free to correct
me if I misunderstood.......

It's the cowards way out, that's what’s wrong with it! If you don't
have the guts to stand by your own assertions you shouldn't make them.
In addition "UCW Sarah" makes a good point (for a change) in pointing
out that innocent parties may end up bearing the blame for the words of
a coward.
Other that that, there's nothing wrong with it.
