In response to "I may like Mop more than anybody else here. I enjoy him on a personal level and I like the way his brain works. Having said that..." by David

Well written. A well rounded look at the situation.

Posted by Bacon (aka redmond) Aug 15 '14, 20:35

I honestly feel blindsided because I was never asked to change or adjust my comments. I am obviously one of the people that bothered him in hindsight.

The movie issue, well, that was just a bad move. Considering where we all met each other, a movie site. Not knowing that would set people off in a place like this, isn't possible. But, mistakes happen and I have made my share. Own up, and say it was a bad play and move on.

I thought I knew him pretty well considering the times I have met him. Not once, was I warned that I was inflicting any trauma on him. I had zero clue whatsoever.

I would like to see him come back. I would certainly adjust my comments accordingly now that I finally know that it bothers him.

Yes. 1000 times yes. nm - ralph wiggum Aug 15, 21:22
I found his post somewhat inflamatory - eag Aug 15, 20:39 35
- Well his mistake is trying to think for us, thinking those of us getting picked on hate it as much as he did. - Bacon Aug 15, 20:45 34
  - Its easier to point fingers in different directions than to point the finger at yourself - eag Aug 15, 20:51
  - I may be wrong but I think he means David's pot. -- nm - ... Aug 15, 20:46 32
    - ..post. -- nm - ... Aug 15, 20:46 31
      - My guess is Eag is referring to this part of Mop's post. - Bacon Aug 15, 20:48 30
        
        Thats excatly what im talking about. - eag Aug 15, 20:52 27
        
        He is cleary very hurt. It's a venting post. I agree with almost all of David's post above. Plenty of blame to go around -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 20:57 18
        
        I would venture to guess there is more going on with him then just this - eag Aug 15, 21:01
        
        I get salty in and around my birthday. I wonder if that is a similar tipping point for him. - David Aug 15, 20:59 16
        
        I have been divorced twice, but never had kids. It is the suck. - Bacon Aug 15, 21:01 5
        
        Your wife left you when you were suck? What were the details there? - David Aug 15, 21:03 4
        
        Oh there are always two sides to every story. If you want a little bit of a lengthy read here are the details. - Bacon Aug 15, 21:22
        
        Heh - "when you were suck" - Roger More Aug 15, 21:07 2
        
        It's always the thread for it -- nm - Bacon Aug 15, 21:25
        
        Shaddup. -- nm - David Aug 15, 21:08
        
        And maybe ut's because he's found himself in an increasingly better place in real life and realizes that maybe ST isn't that great a place for him. - ... Aug 15, 21:01 9
        
        And thats fine - eag Aug 15, 21:05 8
        
        Fingers need to be pointed. And it wasn't that inflammatory. -- nm - ... Aug 15, 21:14 7
        
        If you're going to point fingers, point fingers at people. Don't go all martyr and cast other people as victims of the same cause you're leaving to - Will Hunting Aug 15, 21:23 4
        
        And you don't point back and tell them to look into the mirror without first doing it yourself. - ... Aug 15, 21:28 3
        
        You want David to take responsibility for Mop admitting to posting old news on purpose and spoiling a movie on Facebook? - Will Hunting Aug 15, 21:30 2
        
        What the F? -- nm - ... Aug 15, 21:31 1
        
        I assumed that you were talking about David since he suggested Mop look in the mirror for his role in this....but I guess you intended it to be - Will Hunting Aug 15, 21:36
        
        Totally disagree on both points. -- nm - eag Aug 15, 21:19 1
        
        So? -- nm - ... Aug 15, 21:22
        
        I've been told that by others than him. - ... Aug 15, 20:56 7
        
        Not told to leave but asked why you would stay where you are unhappy. That's an important distinction. -- nm - TWuG Aug 15, 21:04 6
        
        Exactly -- nm - eag Aug 15, 21:06 5
        
        Actually told to leave too, by others. -- nm - ... Aug 15, 21:08 4
        
        Though you do realize that what you said comes off the same as saying why don't just leave? -- nm - ... Aug 15, 21:12 3
        
        But YOU are still here right? - eag Aug 15, 21:17 2
        
        No. I'm still here because ther a people I want stay in touch with. - ... Aug 15, 21:21 1
        
        You and I have had our ups and downs. Might be on a big downer lately - Bacon Aug 15, 21:24
        
        Yes. nm - Dignan Aug 15, 20:49 1
        
        (But a pretty good example of how text without inflection or context can be *completely* misconstrued.) - Dignan Aug 15, 20:51
