"anybody who doesn't see this my (my tribe's) way, has issues". I can argue that way too, if that is your preference.

I didn't ever say that for a dog to crap in his/her crate is normal.

However, when I have the runs myself, which I often do (and not just of the mouth, or the keyboard), I don't have a lot of choice about where and when I am going to crap. So crapping where you don't want to crap IS normal when one has the runs.

As for the Vet. Well, I remaing skeptical. It sounds a little bit like Dr. Frist diagnosing a patient from a picture. Unless the vet was there, she has no knowledge about what cause the runs. It may have been stress, but it does not have to have been. But let's not let a simple thing like facts, get in the way of our assuming we know.
