Hey spexxie - Are you really that stupid or do you have to practice?

Cloud · 02-19-2010, 08:38 PM

a shame. this is the kind of mean spiritedness that makes the Cellar really difficult to take for me sometimes. Merc is made of stronger stuff than me tho!

i'm the only one that voted for 'dickhead'?! wtf!

We really need comparators for polls like this. It's hard to talk absolutes. But in relation to let's say Marichiko, Rkzenrage, or Tiki where is he in the pantheon?

I like Merc well enough, I rarely agree with him, but he seems to love his kids, he seems to work in healthcare, he seems to be into freaky sex shit, and maybe he likes to to blue-bait, or maybe he doesn't.

Honestly, I really skim most stuff and I especially skim political stuff, mainly since I really doubt anyone will change my mind about what I feel and believe with their postings.

I'd say none of the above, an average dwellar who seems to not mind posting whatever shit is on his mind.

lumberjim · 02-20-2010, 09:31 AM

oh, that's real nice

Spexxvet · 02-20-2010, 10:18 AM

You say that with such innocence.

lumberjim · 02-20-2010, 11:09 AM

have you ever seen me say something like that to someone?

kerosene · 02-20-2010, 11:57 AM

Thanks, Clod. I voted "I don't know enough to judge yet." Well, I suppose I have read enough posts to determine he isn't a bad guy. Very opinionated and can be mean when pressed, but so can anyone.

When someone resurects a thread like this, I often think it's interesting to see how people's attitudes have changed (and how some haven't).

I for one have had a complete turn around from the begining of this thread to now.

Merc has been a good friend to me and has been supportive through a very challenging period of my life. I don't agree with his politics, and I think he's very abrasive in his manner of address sometimes, but no one's perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, and the honourable among us are willing to recognise and try to make amends for our folley. I have seen this a number of times from Merc and it's these actions I try to remember when he gets all silly and righty with me (not that I bother with politics much any more. It's become a bit sameish for my liking).

So in conclusion, I think we all have good and bad things about some of the things we say, and it's best to try and appreciate people for the good, and ignore the bad stuff.

I would appreciate it if everyone would stop speaking about cock sucking unless it includes me.

I voted Fucking Troll
I am always surprised by evidence that I do get quite cross online sometimes. And slightly ashamed of my own vitriol.

In my defence, I think it was around the time of the Merc/ Ibram fight, which drifted into personal comments I abhorred. In Merc's defence he apologised for those very comments.

I am now tempted to read the Palin thread. In the way I looked up goatse and Two Girls One Cup. I regretted both of those. I think I'll hold off this impulse.
