The Mercenary: Asshole?
I'll make this multiple choice.
here's a link to his post history for ease of research
I've already answered this question before.
LJ, while i understand the intent of this... I'd say acting like him is a bad way to fix it. Starting 'lets all hate _______!' threads is normally not cool.
That said... Bigoted hate monger.

Smoke em if you got em...
:biggrinha
just pointing out to him that he is behaving in an antisocial manner. Misfits like this need to have it illustrated in sharp contrast for it to sink through the defenses they've constructed around their fragile egos. if you are a prick to everyone at one time or another....people won't want to be around you. Man is a social creature. The point of a message board is to socialize ...to one extent or another.
I find myself being reminded ...again, bruce.....that a large part of life IS a popularity contest.
-and the fucking dickhead pisses me off.
I think it's just an act. I don't think he can get all emotionally hurt or pissed off like me so I guess troll would fit.
I don't know what name to call him sorry. I get no emotion from him except he is amused.
ps. I didn't vote.
-and the fucking dickhead pisses me off.
Damm, where's the love dude?:eek:
I find myself being reminded ...again, bruce that a large part of life IS a popularity contest.
Ok, that explains it all. Talk about insecure. :p
Dude, I contribute like everyone else does here. Not different.
no love for you!
You love nazi!
as the saying goes ,
opinions are like assholes ,
every body has one and they ALL stink .
I have no real problem with him ,
but then again I don't nessarly agree with what he says ,
as I don't agree with some of the opinions expressed here on the cellar , so where is the poll to see if I am an asshole ??
but you're not an arsehole zippy. You're HOT! ;)
Yeah, a zippyt poll. I vote, He's the Bomb. My Favorite dweller.
Thanks guys ( and Ali ) ,
I am just getting TIRED of all this HATEING here on the cellar , folks calling names and acting like FUCKING kids !!!!!
Nanny Nanny Boo Boo stick your Hand in Poo Poo !!! and all that shit !!!
I agree! Let's have a lovefest instead. :)
As John Lennon said , "All ya need is love !!"
yes well, he also encouraged the use of drugs. lol Let's not go too far with the Lennonisms.
So whats wrong with smoking a dubbie ??
nothing...if you're in control of the situation. everything if you're not.

yeah yer right...
alot of us can be assholes.....
Let's all just practice our scathing look emoticon. :mad2:
or however you would really behave in real life.
... so where is the poll to see if I am an asshole ??
You disagree but are almost never disagreeable and you are real. If you were to start telling folks to douse themselves in gasoline, somebody might post one. Merc is on my never respond list because he is just a troll not a person.

:rolleyes: :p :D am not!
I'm on the fence about merc....sometimes I find him really amusing, then others I am blown away by the intolerance and behavior (ie, the whole Ibby thing) of a *rational* adult type person.
I dont like the blatant shit stirring tactics and unnecessary bullshit...but if thats what makes merc merc....guess its like it or lump it.
I ridiculously tolerant at times though :)
LJ, while i understand the intent of this... I'd say acting like him is a bad way to fix it. Starting 'lets all hate _______!' threads is normally not cool.
Agreed. If Merc were truly a problem, we'd not be hearing any of it because LJ would have clicked this link a long time ago:
LJ, you should have enabled multiple votes - the first 5 choices all fit, so I decided on jerkoff.
Thanks guys ( and Ali ) ,
I am just getting TIRED of all this HATEING here on the cellar , folks calling names and acting like FUCKING kids !!!!!

From the man who said "bu-bye". You gotta love the Zippster!:D
Dang! Even Bush has better ratings. I should have been President.
At 18.67 posts per day, Merc, you're bound to piss off somebody. Jesus' god fucked mother, where do you get the time? :neutral:
If I think he is trolling I won't dignify the post with a response.
Funny, I don't think I've responded to him for a while now...
Honestly, if people don't react to his shit-stirring posts they'll sink to the bottom where they belong (notice he's given up putting the word "negro" into every post now?) It would be interesting to see if anything remains to float to the top after that happens.
I've missed the whole Merc is a _(fill in here)__ . To be quite honest, you really have to be an enormous ass for me to even notice your enormous assy personality. Don't get me wrong--there ARE some rich bits here, but I pretty much ignore everyone equally. :D
Besides, you can't just throw up a poll without explaining WHY. (the link didn't work, LJ)---at least SG gave the "negro" example. I need some context if I'm going to make an informed vote.*
*caveat: just because I endeavor to be an informed voter does not preclude my vote from being for sale/end caveat.
I cannot believe you allow threads created solely for flame attacks to remain open.

But Negro is my prefered word or Black is appropriate. I told you before my thoughts about the term "African-American".
I cannot believe you allow threads created solely for flame attacks to remain open.
More about that big double standard I have spoken about three or four times. Good for the Goose but not for the Gander. Oh well, carry on. I am watching with interest to see who gets better poll results, will mine rise to the level of Bush or will Bush sink to mine? only time will tell. :D
I cannot believe you allow threads created solely for flame attacks to remain open.
good point
........but some people have 'special rights' not an attack just
an observation that will be probably met with hostility.
:hide:
That said there is alot to like about LJ when he isn't being stubborn, high handed or mean. He can be sweet,helpful and he's married to Jinx which is a super big ...plus...plus..plus. :)
Damm. How am I doing? Are Bush and me equal yet?
I just voted "I like him" so I think I probably screwed up your average.
I don't agree with much of what Mercs's said. I doubt we'd get along in real life. Most times I've read posts and though "that's a bit rough". Many times I've read posts and thought "Nup, that's wrong - I need to argue that point", but I've held back, thinking it's better not to be drawn into an argument or not having the facts to back myself.
However, I think you DO need someone to stir the possum sometimes. I guess the fact that you sometimes even offend me, means you're pretty good at it. For that reason alone I think you're ok.
I cannot believe you allow threads created solely for flame attacks to remain open.
But your threads get bitched about:D ... like the whiny little bitches could not have just stayed out of them... nooooo.:right:
LMAO.

When one dwellar invites appraisals like this of another dwellar for general membership viewing, the same evaluation scale should be presented for both dwellars so that all may contrast and compare them both in accordance with our social mores (e.g. "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones").
Since LJ lacked the intestinal fortitude to present the same evaluation poll on himself in conjunction with his poll on TheMercenary, I have set aside Merc's post history and rendered a summary judgement of
"He's the Bomb. My Favorite dwellar." based upon principle. This judgement includes punitive award. The tribunal is closed.
We already had an 'Is lj an arsehole' thread. Well...almost. It was asking if he's a bully or not. That was a while ago now though.
But your threads get bitched about:D ... like the whiny little bitches could not have just stayed out of them... nooooo.:right:
LMAO.
Cloud asked for an opinion on her thread starting. I gave my opinion in direct response.
I did not follow her from thread to thread making snide remarks or responding to every question with a comment about her private life. Neither has any other Dwellar as far as I can tell. Which puts us whiny little bitches in a different class than Merc imo.
"whiny little bitches"--? wow- smacks of sexism. sexists should be put on a boat and set adrift to slowly die of thirst and madness.

Nah, there are several whiny little bitches on here who purport to be male. I like to feel that it's an equal opportunities term :lol:

But I like sexism. Every chance I get. Why if it wern't for.... Oh, ism, uh, nevermind.
Bush is at 28%!
17.9% + 8.7 = 26.6%
Pretty damm close!
yeah. keep bumping the thread.
here's the deal:
You piss me off because you do what you do JUST to piss in peoples faces. You're being a disruptive prick ON PURPOSE. You think it bothers me when you call me fat, so you continue to do it....You think it irks Ibram when you call him gay....so you are relentless about it. You don't try to get along and contribute to the overall....cellarocity...of the cellar. you just dance back and forth across the line of being a total troll...and being edgy.
Why? for the attention it brings. I have to admit that you piss me off, and the whole time, I know that's exactly what you're after.
I started this poll to illustrate how many folks have a problem with the way you behave. I'm actually surprised that you got the positive votes you did get. Some were reactionary to the wording of the poll, as they said....some people may actually enjoy your POV....and yes, it's a dick move to start a thread about hatin' on somebody. sorry,sue me, i was pissed...
i don't want to get all Hubris Boy on y'all, but the overall quality is, for me at an all time low. Between trolls like this, the incessant bickering, and the chit chatty back patting...
....ah nevermind. have fun ruining the cellar, asshole.

You posted it, I get to bump it all I want.
Thanks for your opinion. That is real important to me. You have been so kind since I arrived I worry on a regular basis about what you think.
Now back to the Poll. I just need one more person to vote positive for me to beat Bush or for Bush to bungle something else up and drop a few points. Now there is something worth betting on!
I haven't voted.
Come on Monster. Vote for me so I can at least beat Bush. Damm.;)
It's nice to see he has such high standards for himself.

Yep, no double standard.:rolleyes:

What do you want, Jim? I'm not being a smartass, I'd like to know what you want? If you're not happy with the type of threads being put up can you tell me what you'd rather see?
I'm under the impression you don't cotton to the political/serious shit, because you usually don't participate in them. You don't like chit chatty, so what would you like to see discussed? Seriously.
Or is it attitude? You've accused me of being shitty to everyone, but that's not true. I've come down harder on the people that piss me off, especially by making false accusations. But that's far from everyone.
all you have is who you are and your honor.
That said, you can be pretty shitty yourself. Of course we both, plus tw, UG and the old Radar, don't add up to The Mercenary for down right cussedness, but he's not the first or last. If you(collective) don't like a post, ignore it or expect more of the same.
Come on Monster. Vote for me so I can at least beat Bush. Damm.;)
What will you beat him with?
Your answer may affect my vote....
I don't really see the point of this thread. I do think can Merc be an asshole at times....but then again so can a lot of us, myself included, in our own unique and special ways. If you don't like what he has to say just ignore him. If you fancy having it out with him, then go to it. personally, i disagree with pretty much everything he's ever said. I don't particularly dislike him though. I suspect we'd end up coming to blows if we ever did meet irl....and I don't mean that in the good way.
Yeah, but how many threads here really have a point?
At least this one gives people with itchy fingers and energy-saving brains somewhere to type while their bulb is warming up..... ;)
After a lot of thought I've come to the conclusion that:
TheMercenary is not an asshole;
lumberjim is not an asshole;
rkzenrage is not an asshole;
neither is xoxoxoBruce;
neither is Spexxvet;
neither is....
TheMercenary just wants to be happy and free from pain, just like I do.
rkzenrage just wants to be happy and free from pain, just like you do.
lumberjim ...
... and so on.
They are all good people, but it's not easy to see that through the unisensual medium of forum posts.
Well said, HLJ. I'm starting to think you really are our lord and savior. ;)

That's perfect - we have a DC office.
That settles it! 42.86%! I am more popular than Bush. And if using basic media "Poll reporting techniques", rounded up I can actually report that as 43% which is easily rounded up to 45%. Way better than Bush.... whewwwww... :D
TM - That's one of the benefits of a positive attitude.

Apparently, there has been a long-standing debate about this...
Dr. [strike]Who[/strike] Flint has jumped into his RETARDIS and gone back in time. :cop:
[PseudoPsychEval]Merc has decided to become part of a forum where his political view is in the minority. This could be because he really enjoys the friction that ensues...its an outlet for him. It allows him to release his frustration and anger in a 'safe' environment. Unfortunately, he seems to lack the ability to keep it tightly reigned in, and so, his vitriolic manner sometimes spills over in inappropriate ways.[/PseudoPsychEval]
I would know...he did it to me.
OMG! Reposting!? Commenting on and old post?!
Where are the FORUM POLICE?
Isn't this unkind? Doesn't it make someone an asshole? Or doesn't someone suck? Classic and Pie, Where are yooooouuuu??????
I disagree with Merc on pretty much everything except NPR and food. Merc's biggest curse, however, is that you can tell what he's going to say on a topic without having to read his posts. He shares this curse with UG, tw, and a few others. When someone is that positive about complex issues, you just know they're just spewing bias and not reflective thought.
The other tip-off is name calling. It's an obvious indicator.
I like him.
Always supportive but then I do not read the political threads except for an occasional post or skimming.
Politics and religion can make anyone Jekyll and Hyde.
I am very sorry you guys are scared of people with whom you don't agree.

I had a long reply typed and then realized you aren't worth it.
Have a blessed day.
Spexx is as worth it as anyone here, much more than a lot, because he's real and honest.
I think merc can take it. He's a tough one, and he can dish it out, so... ;)
Scared? Not bloody likely. Unless scared means "geez man, do you ever fucking LISTEN?" :lol:
Scared. Hahahahahahahahaaaa.
I love this place! :thumbsup:
Who knows? The demoncrats probably control your vote anyway.
Here's a giant senseless article about it:
HereI disagree with Merc a lot... about politics.
I think his reactions are knee-jerk, most of the time... about politics.
I find his comments and/or stories interesting and informative... when they're not related to politics.
YMMV.
it's too late. he has been assimilated. this thread was just (one of) the lump(s) caught in our throat as we swallowed him.
If we swallowed him, wouldn't we be gonorrhea-dripping whores?
Sorry, but classic gets to harp on old shit, so so do i.
:lol:
And it's NEVER too late.

This is my tongue. This is my cheek. Too difficult?
Jezzzzzzzzzzzzussssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
Nope - not difficult at all. If you don't want me to comment on your stupid as shit, then leave me out of it - Mmmmkay?
That too complex for YOU?
Eh, fuck you you sycophantic pantywaist liar. Now go cry about tw, and suck merc's dick, or whoever's dick is popular this week.

you don't have to use actual 'bad' words to be profane. and you don't need someone to tell you that. you're being typical again.
Hey spexxie - Are you really that stupid or do you have to practice?
but you're not an arsehole zippy. You're HOT! ;)
I agree, I like Zippy too. ;) :D

Perhaps it might be wise to focus on your own words and actions rather than repeatedly rehashing those that really dont concern you....or more recently, attacking the character and credibility of others and brushing off your own rather intransigent reactions to others.

If you catch him outside the politics threads, Merc's a nice guy. Everyone seems to grow fangs when posting about political stuff. I'm not sure why this thread was resurrected, though. Wasn't there enough hate in the Palin thread for everyone? :right:

Duplicity motherfucker, duplicity. None of this thread concerned you, or did you have a right to enter into this discussion. You jumped on the band wagon and regularly attack my credibility among others and have numerous intransigent reactions to anyone who disagrees with your positions. You have been exposed for what you really are, a "One Trick Pony"...
Please fall directly on your sword, through the heart...
a shame. this is the kind of mean spiritedness that makes the Cellar really difficult to take for me sometimes. Merc is made of stronger stuff than me tho!

ok Google's got 88 hits from the cellar for that term. I'd appreciate a link to the OP
:eek:
I like Merc. Not because I agree with him, but because he is consistent. I can't remember how I voted in the poll, though, because I might have been frustrated with him at the time. But, usually I just like people...as long as they are real and he seems real to me.
I can't remember how I voted in the poll, though,
The poll choice you voted for will be in italics (assuming you are logged in.)
i'm the only one that voted for 'dickhead'?! wtf!
We really need comparators for polls like this. It's hard to talk absolutes. But in relation to let's say Marichiko, Rkzenrage, or Tiki where is he in the pantheon?
I like Merc well enough, I rarely agree with him, but he seems to love his kids, he seems to work in healthcare, he seems to be into freaky sex shit, and maybe he likes to to blue-bait, or maybe he doesn't.
Honestly, I really skim most stuff and I especially skim political stuff, mainly since I really doubt anyone will change my mind about what I feel and believe with their postings.
I'd say none of the above, an average dwellar who seems to not mind posting whatever shit is on his mind.
I had a long reply typed and then realized you aren't worth it.
Have a blessed day.
There's no defense of your behavior. You are hypocritical. Your posts are dependant on the person who posts, not the substance of a post. Your long reply was probably just a series of insults, because that's all you are - a series of insults.
Hey spexxie - Are you really that stupid or do you have to practice?
Do you have LJ's dick up your ass, or is it in your mouth?
You say that with such innocence.
have you ever seen me say something like that to someone?
Thanks, Clod. I voted "I don't know enough to judge yet." Well, I suppose I have read enough posts to determine he isn't a bad guy. Very opinionated and can be mean when pressed, but so can anyone.
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.

http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=19180&page=2I voted Fucking Troll
I am always surprised by evidence that I do get quite cross online sometimes. And slightly ashamed of my own vitriol.
In my defence, I think it was around the time of the Merc/ Ibram fight, which drifted into personal comments I abhorred. In Merc's defence he apologised for those very comments.
I am now tempted to read the Palin thread. In the way I looked up goatse and Two Girls One Cup. I regretted both of those. I think I'll hold off this impulse.
It looks like voting is already closed, but I'll put in my two cents. While I disagree with Mercenary a lot, I will give him credit for being informed. His sources of information are different than mine, as are his biases. That said, I do believe that he is willing to at least examine evidence challenging his beliefs.
I find him no more opinionated, stubborn, or offensive than more than a few other long term dwellars.
I find him infinitely more reasonable than UG, who appears to be such a ludicrous one dimensional persona that I still can't shake the belief that he is some dwellars digital sock puppet. A social experiment by UT, a straw man set up by TW, or Elspode exploring his dark side. Merc has certainly shared more of his personal life on this board than UG and seems to have a functioning intellect. This makes him a useful conservative counterbalance. I would put him in the conservative/libertarian category, Radar's protests notwithstanding.
Since LJ started this thread, I can only assume that Merc has landed on LJ's shit list. Having been there, along with a possibly large number of other dwellars, I cannot help but find a certain amount of commonality with him. Maybe we can get T-shirts printed.;)
FYI LJ, you misspelled 'bigoted'.
keep in mind that this thread was started years ago. I don't have much of a shit list at the moment......

order yours todayI voted that I like him.
I think it's funny that despite how skewed the poll is towards the negative, he's still doing pretty well.
Consider that there is only one positive option "I like him" versus 5 negative ones. Looks like he's doing pretty well.
As an aside, Why is He's an Asshole italicized?
cuz that's what you voted
did 4 people really vote that he's the bomb?
Merc plus his 3 sock puppets? ;)
Wow, I didn't check the date on the first post. I guess the whole 'everything old is new again' saying really applies well to the Cellar.
I didn't remember this thread at all or that I had voted on it. It must have been all of the Aspirin I was doing back in 2007.

I haven't voted yet, don't like to rush into decisions.
Well, I voted 'I don't know enough to judge yet' back in the day. I guess I finally decided.

Nah, it's interesting. Maybe we can have UT set up a little popularity meter next to each user's name and let everyone vote on everyone else.
I am a member of another forum which does exactly that. You can click on a little icon under each user's name and give or subtract brownie points. This same forum is also heavily moderated. Almost everyone here would be banned from that forum by now. :cool:
So it becomes a politically correct popularity contest. :right:
Yeah, I don't post there much because I get tired of having to jump through all the hoops. :headshake
I would know...he did it to me.
Yeah, me too, some time back. I haven't come across what he said to you, but if it was as gross as what he said to me...ugh, I am sorry.
Hmm, I never voted either. :p:
