      Not sure why people are having a trash talking party in a thread for a deceased member, but it has no place here.

          That's why I removed my negative comments. But I did not know he was such a saint. I guess he chose not to show me his beautiful side.

            It's not about him being a saint. He was a wild and crazy Bohemian who had done things around the world that very few here could fully comprehend. He was irreverent, abrasive, and undiscriminating in serving up $hit to other members, and he made the forum more fun and a lot more interesting. Talking $hit about him posthumously has no merit and comes across as low class.

                Rest in Peace Mark. I recall his friendship with Joe (?) and seem to remember him supporting her while some members were on the attack.

                He also had some very interesting experiences he shared.

                Does anyone know what happened?

                    And his severe hatred of one religion in particular. See if you can guess which one that was...?

                    He said...my mother was a dirty whore...

                    ...I was conceived in the back seat of a car...

                    ...my father was a gang of Blacks...

                    The thing that hurt me was NO ONE stepped up to disavow his post...

                    Thanks for jogging my memory of his plastic bag sling weapon how-to.

                    Now I'll have to go about forgetting all about him again. Made harder by the fact that his type are all over the news these days.

                        Gee, how come NO ONE said his remarks were 'inappropriate' when he posted them? Mind you, that story of my conception that he posted? I just paraphrased it. His language was much filthier.

                        I KNOW at least a good few members saw his disgusting post, because it was a very active thread until his filthy post. Then it went silent, as if everyone just turned their backs and walked away.

                        NOT A SINGLE MEMBER censured him, supported me, or even disavowed his words.

                          Rob, a LOT of what Mark said was tongue-in-cheek, soldier's humor. That having been said, VMass is correct above.

                            No. He wasn't that intelligent. Tongue in cheek! I doubt it. He might have been full of liquor. Your mother's a filthy whore, tongue in cheek? Really now.

                            Maybe his anti-Semitism had a deeper meaning...maybe he was really a poet. He was misunderstood!

                            Maybe one day we will all evolve enough to learn what he was teaching.

                              While I didn't see the post you are referring to, it sounds absolutely hideous and no one here is standing up for him. It simply isn't the place to do this.

                              Please feel free to start a thread in the Vortex, considering that is most likely where this post you mentioned took place.

                                Right, David vs. Goliath. Guess what? He wasn't rooting for David's tribe.
