I seriously doubt merc's claim of "not knowing" about me and my condition - he certainly made enough cracks about me being 'mentally unstable' and 'are you taking your meds?' BEFORE the 'go ahead and take all your sleeping pills at once' comment. Whenever he got caught he'd get this What? ME? kind of attitude. And his claim that I am somehow 'broken'-? Like a defective toy? that was backhanded too. see thru the snake's misty talk and you will see the snake behind the bullshit. However, you are right, Tony, I must forgive him if I am to be fully functioning and happy. Truth be told those of you who are sorry he is gone, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I hope you find another person to spar with as it seems so much fun for you to take on people=== though your discourse with merc was far from fairsided-he was so up in his own shit he could not listen to you with your reasonableness, etc. He could only yell and call names and when he truly hurt someone look astonished and cry "I never KNEW!!!!!" And to say I am broken because I"m on meds? isn't that to say everyone on psych meds is 'broken'---? and he knew it. He's simply a liar.
No, I don't want a cuddlefest. I've had my own fights on here. I've learned to tolerate what can't be cured-I don't hit people over the head----anymore. it does no good for one thing. It changes exactly NOTHING. you change people by civil argument and backing facts. IF that person is willing to listen instead of simply attack. Merc was all about the attack. Oh, sure, once in a while he'd throw a bone of humanity out there in a recipe thread or something else but mostly it was "i'm white, I'm rich, i'm better than you, you're broken and run to the doctor whenever anything is wrong you crybaby....etc etc" that last was a comment he made when I was talking about going to the doc for something or other. Yeah, I have a lot to not like about him. I, though, enjoy his gone-ment. His hatred. His fear. His entitlement because he's white and rich. Oh, yes, he let us alllllll know how wealthy he was - kind of like that rkzenrage guy letting us allllll know how very intelligent he was. In my neighborhood if you gotta say it you can't play it. I'm so happy for those of you who were lucky enough to be knighted presents by this asshole. He's happy to buy the lot of you and would probably come back here just to claim he could. I didn't hate him for ONE thing he said, I hated him for EVERYthing he said. He treats women like shit; is a know-it-all ("people who go to Paula Deen's restaurant are ignorant she sucks, blah blah blah) look: I can't stand the guy. I"m allowed to hate him. that doesn't mean I've wasted anymore time than it took to write this thread-which was five pages long when I voiced my opinion--to waste energy on him.

Trilby, if Merc had posted to me what he posted to you (and what he posted to Ibs, for that matter), I wouldn't forget it, either - probably not after 5 years or 10 years or even 20. That was incredibly cruel and there was no excuse for it. NONE!
In the end, Merc could dish it out but he couldn't take it. He got upset and left because his posts didn't inspire a universal outpouring of love? Poor baby. Too bad. Let me clarify a little. I regret the loss of a different point of view. I have no regret what-so-ever for the absence of posts that were written in the spirit of one of the meanest trolls around. He showed you his very worst side. He showed me that he could be better than that. Maybe that's what it comes down to. Merc was capable of being human, but all too often, he chose to be a miscreant instead. In some ways, that's worse then being uniformly "evil." Unlike some, Merc had the ability to rise above. All too often, he chose not to. |

Exactly. His problem wasn't that he had a different point of view; it was that instead of posting a different point of view, he would post an insult.

Well, I still like Merc. He was good to me. If someone has a problem with that you can fuck-off. Even if I don't always agree with my friends, I refuse to turn my back on them.
Trilby - I never knew Merc said those things to you and for that I am truly sorry

It's okay to be friends with an asshole. It's not okay to excuse them for it because they're your friend.

I see you don't deny it.
What a stinkin' act of cowardice to come here and threaten someone's life while hiding behind the anonymous account. |

No, of course I wasn't threatening Merc's life! I should have worded that better. I'll turn it back over to Sam.

Sorry. That just came off really, really wrong. I only meant that Merc's not coming back HERE.
For what it's worth, I went back and re-read some of the threads that were posted right before both Merc's and monster's departures, trying to understand the dynamics of what went on. I still don't understand about monster being a bully, and I gave up trying to figure that one out. Merc's last few posts and the replies he got made me feel tired. Enough is enough already. I didn't even feel like responding to this thread as me any more. I'm going to take the advice you posted awhile back, and ignore this entire topic about why ANYONE stays or leaves. Again, I apologize. It was a stupid way to post. And if I post anything in this thread again, you all can kill ME (metaphorically, of course). |
