[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 332489, member: 40536"] You make some good points. Indeed Jock was not one to be told what to do. My point could have been stated better - that Miss Ellie basically enabled JR's behavior - surely she would have noticed JR becoming more difficult as time passed. The battle for Ewing Oil - JR said it well when Miss Ellie tried to overturn the will and said " Bobby, she wants to give half our inheritance to a drunk and a cowboy' Reality is that battles to lead companies can be quite intense. This being a family company, maybe there was a better way to handle it. Clayton was certainly an adversary to JR, they never had a friendly relationship. When Miss Ellie gave half of Southfork to Clayton, even Bobby was not pleased. Again, you make some good points. I think that in fan forums, Miss Ellie is not held accountable for her flaws too often. [/QUOTE]
