[QUOTE="Mustard, post: 340719, member: 46"] Is that really Jock's place, i.e. to say what Digger spends his money on? Jock did exactly what Digger said, and took power by force. On Jock's side, you can say that Digger was too far gone to have any hope of beating Jock in the legal and business sense, and that Digger had let his old standards slip badly. The real question is whether it was ever Jock's place to do so? Digger was still strong in some ways, like how he could sober up to do some work and get more money, like how he overcame all that crazy drinking for decades. Was it really Jock's place to effectively say "No Digger, I won't have you wasting all our money on all that drink, so I'll make it my money instead"? In this way, it's Digger's fault for ever letting it get to this point, but Jock's fault for cutting Digger out. [/QUOTE]
