I believe that Merc simply lost respect for members he had previously held in esteem when they allowed a thin skinned adult member of this community to hide behind their skirts by labeling Merc a bully. There are others who feel similarly, who expressed a similar opinion and reduced their participation. The Merc is conspicuous among them only because he ceased participation.

A difference between the Merc and I is that I was introduced to the Cellar by a former dwellar (Tonchi) who provided insight and I had time to do personality assessments as a lurker before registering. My expectations coming in were titrated to the community. That's why I've always said that I'm just here for the entertainment. Merc didn't have that advantage and Merc is disappoint. I don't blame him: I would be too. I can take it or leave it just as easily as Merc except that I knew coming into the community better than to reveal any of my current IRL information for others to judge me on; so, it's not detrimental for me to stay.[/IMHO]

And I'm halfway in between. I've stayed because I truly care about some and want to keep up with them, but I've stopped posting because I am disappoint and frankly no longer care what most feel about my everyday ups and downs. I've always been brusque, direct, to the point....suddenly, I became a heartless bully. I know I'm not, those who truly know me know I'm not. But I'm not going to conform to the new wuss that is the New Cellar to stay part of the "community".

I actually did think that Merc was OTT and being a bully at the point he left, and I was already way down on his list of fans, but I totally get the disappoint.
