    The irony is delicious.

    Look at all these words everyone is spending focusing on Liet. Master troll. :sokar:

    Words on the internet don't matter, unless they're words you disagree with. Right? :sokar:

    :itsokay:

    You seem to lack a functioning brain on this, so I will try one more time.

    I doubt anyone is mourning Sokar the persona...and pretending that lots of folks here, probably even you are at least partially a persona is plain stupid...Sokar can and did act like a jerk, often to make a point and often in response of the supposed "bullied victims" who would continue to bitch about him and bring him up even when he stopped for awhile. It became that no matter what he posted, some people would go and shit on his thread and poke the bear until he bit and then whine some more about the horrors of Sokar.

    Some of us can go beyond personas and get to know the person behind the handle. Courtney was a nice guy and well loved by his family and community. I enjoyed many conversations with him. And it is perfectly normal to mourn a friend.

    That you couldn't be bothered to find out any more about a poster than their personae, that all you choose to have here is the shallowest of interactions based on railing about politics you disagree with and little else and then pass judgments on people without knowing them...that all reflects on you, not them.

    Will I miss Sokar? Not much. He occasionally said something funny or posted a great thread about music or some other normal topic and I'll miss that. But I will very much miss Courtney and am sad that he died, and so painfully and horribly.

    That you can't seem to get this concept just boggles the mind and that you can't see your own words are as bad as anything he ever said is also flummoxing....unless the others are right and you are just trolling, in which case, I guess Sokar got a successor.

    How about the last one?

    http://www.wordforge.net/showthread.php?t=98225

    Sokar didn't start shit there at all but look what people like you posted and the lovely neg rep comments.

    You can say he deserves it all day juist for being Sokar, but he was not starting shit there and yet the people who didn't like him and the supposed "victims" had no problem making snide remarks of their own.

    Liberalism is a mental disease. Inevitably, liberals will degenerate into a frothing, bitter, malignant mass represented on Wordforge by Liet.

    Ya'll just in the Nile river. :storm:

    You mean almost three months before anyone but you and Muad and Lanzman even knew he was sick? Like we all had psychic powers and, just because he was being serious for once, we were supposed to know he was talking about himself?

    Here's an idea: Let's all of us be nice to each other all the time, in case someone else here gets a terminal diagnosis. Will that work for you?

    Here's what I'll say: People should be judged by the body of their work. Someone who comes here expressly to troll and does so persistently and consistently for years, then suddenly decides to get serious, is judged based on the almost 15,000 posts that came before the serious one.

    (Flashlight and Castle, take note.)

    "Oh, hai, I'm being serious for the moment. Please be a goldfish and forget everything I've ever posted until five minutes ago and be nice to me now, even though I'll probably go back to being a shit five minutes from now, mmkay?"

    Doesn't work that way IRL. Your insistence that it should in the Red Room is unreasonable.

    Y'know what would've been the antidote to that?
    He could have dropped the character.
    *Snaps fingers* like that.
    Apparently, that would have murdered his ego, or something.

    Not a thing. In fact, I should be paying him. See, unlike Liet, who felt "victimized" by words on a screen, I consider Liet to be a fusion of laughingstock and whipping boy. He's the entertainment.

    When people said that about Sokar, people like $corp utterly refused to take them at their word.

    If you cannot distinguish between snide remarks and obvious jokes, then that's your problem. Flashlight's rep comments, though, were pretty much expected of him and he was behaving exactly like Sokar. :shrug:

    When people say that about visioncastle, he likewise seems not to get it, because he's really a master troll.

    Oh, they're fine in this thread, sure. He's a loathsome dimwit, but if we suppressed the loathsome dimwits, we'd have only Libertarians left on the board, and we'd all bitch about the loathsome dimwits' rights having been suppressed. That'd be boring.

    ...they're wrong. I "get" your babble well enough to know that you're full of crap. Sometimes I can even articulate myself in a sufficiently elementary fashion so that you understand that you're full of crap.
