Not sure why people are having a trash talking party in a thread for a deceased member, but it has no place here."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."

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."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."

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?Comment

geeez ... sorry to hear of this!
I recall his slingshot escapades! David vs Goliath ... and loved how he expressed the ridiculousness of all religions.
I'll definitely raise one tonight in thanx.
see ya Mark. cheers!1100 Katana / 1100 ES

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.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

Rob, a LOT of what Mark said was tongue-in-cheek, soldier's humor. That having been said, VMass is correct above."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."

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.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

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.Comment
