The whiney, hysterics like BigTard, Oakminister and Tripolar are making me just vaguely nauseous.
Yes, it’s wonderful to have a housepet around, and I know you miss your housepet, but Quasi is an adult with dignity and intelligence, not a fucking animal or child who needs to be coddled.
Not too long ago, Quasi wrote
This is a man, not a goddamned pet you can keep around for your own amusement who has the self-awareness and intelligence (despite the confusion his dementia causes) to not only know that he’s embarrassing himself*, but that this isn’t the person he wants to be known as. Do you really think he enjoys “cringing” at what he wrote?
Read what he wrote “I sit here and cringe at my words”; “It bothers me, guys and ladies, it really does”. He was smart enough, and he had enough dignity and self-awareness, to leave when he was ready to go and before he said something he couldn’t take back.
Mhendo’s second post (the “stupid old douchebag” one) started with a nasty comment back to Quasi after Quasi said some pretty nasty stuff first, but…and this is key…he also spent like 10 lines rebutting Quasi; treated Quasi like an adult, who’s opinions were worth rebutting, not a child who gets patted on the head and told “Yes, yes, now run along. Your opinions are very cute, dear.” And unlike BigT, Quasi didn’t want special treatment–he asked for help when needed, but he didn’t want the board wrapped in cotton to ‘protect’ him.
Quasi showed class in how he left (temporarily or permanently) with his head held high. His “supporters” would do well to try to support his decision and emulate him instead of running around shrieking and wailing.
*If only BigT had half that self-awareness.
