Maybe you should read the thread again. Direct quote by the original poster

I was more concerned that I would have to resuscitate him after a poisonous snake got him, since the gentleman is 75+ years old.

con·cerned

adjective
worried, troubled, or anxious.

synonyms: worried, anxious, upset, perturbed, troubled, distressed, uneasy, apprehensive, agitated

If I was concerned about someone getting bit by a snake, I would probably go an tell them personally, rather than broadcasting the event on TOTV. Your mileage may vary.

By the way, I know this ambassador well, he is about the nicest guy on the planet. I've seen him just about every day he works for over a year and spoken with him frequently. He even helped me deal with a dead tree on the golf course. I was concerned that he waded into that water further than I've ever seen anyone.

To the person who posted that comment: If you had been on this site more frequently and for a longer time, you would know I have had nothing but praise for our ambassadors and have vigorously defended them against petty attacks on TOTV

In either case, there is no ill will at this end

Merry Christmas

So you know this Ambassador well? Then why would you take to a public forum to question his judgement (when you privately could have talked to him about your concern)? You had to know any post about our Ambassador's would stir the pot to get divided comments from those who think the Ambassadors do a thankless job for pittance wages (me) and those who think the Ambassadors are paid too much and should be fired when they don't bow down and kiss the ring of the privileged/entitled?
