The Mercenary: Asshole?

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.
