Title: Rod - We are with you...
Post by: jettabambino on August 04, 2021, 07:46:56 PM
Just noticed on Instagram that Rodney is gong through something personal.  This isn't meant to pry but rather a post of support.  Please comment and let Rod know we stand with him. 

Thinking of you kind sir

Respectfully let's not make this about what happened and rather support.

He has done alot of great things not only on this site but also in the community.

if you really feel that way then don't create a post in a public forum drawing attention to it. I had no idea until you created the post...

Dude... it was on his insta... dont be pastor Goodfellow all of a sudden.

The intent of my post was to show the strength of this community.  Again, Rod has done some amazing things. I thought we could pass on some words of encouragement.

I hope the best for Rod & his family and friends. I also respect his privacy. I didn't see anything on Instagram about this and am willing to wait for if and when he wants to bring it up on this forum.

To sum it up the good man needs some time away from work duties for his health.

This thread is ideally to wish him well collectively.

I wish him all the best.

I did not see anything on his IG account. Regardless I send well wishes to Rod. Hes always been cordial the few times I have bumped into him on the Vedder.

Great advice Ralph....

I'm sure there were only the best of intentions in all the postings on this thread but I agree maybe Rodney's personal privacy should have been considered before posting here first. I'm not privy either to what is on Instagram or Rod's issue....but perhaps if he was inclined to do so, he would have posted about it here too....no ?

Rod, i hope everything you’re dealing with sorts itself out favourably and wishing you all the best  :)

It's all good. :) Because of the nature of my work, I know that I cannot have the expectation of full privacy. The one thing that I rarely discuss is my family life. Anyway, all will be good. Thank you everyone for the concerns, I do appreciate it.
