Gone posters

I just assumed you were Cartaphilus, the Wandering Jew, from the New Testament.  Really freaked me out a few months ago when we both had the same old-school maps on display in the same order.  And Cartaphilus begat the name, Cartography.

Precisely what they told me you'd say.  Early 21st century Rand-McNally full-size atlas along with a few parks we share in common.  You can play dumb with the Emperor, Gatekeeper, but you and I have both danced around this rock for quite awhile...

Every message board needs its train wreck.  Who's going to do it?  You?!?!  You, Lieutenant Weinberg?!?!

I’ll never understand the affinity some here feel for the guy. Best guess is that people feel sorry for him and expect him to get better. But he won’t. 

I think there’s a big element of entertainment factor and that seems to be you. Nothing about that is entertaining to me. It’s fatiguing.

I feel bad for him but he was incredibly confrontational.  I don’t have an affinity for him at all

That you feel bad for him suggests empathy. I’ll never understand the sympathy for random people on the internet who are crazy, and delusional in that they think they provide ‘good content’.

The same people who bitch about Derka when he posts are the same ones bitching about him when he doesn't post. Some of y'all need therapy.

You mistake an observational comment with bitching.   I’m ok with him not coming back.  Just hoping he finds peace within his life tbh

How is sympathy for random people on the internet any different than commenting negatively on someone that is gone? It’s opposite sides of the same coin. You either think about it enough to notice (which means that person has made some impression good or bad) or you don’t.

As far as him specifically, he’s been around a long time and has been interesting if nothing else. Hopefully, he does find peace outside of here. That doesn’t seem like that strange a thought for a normal person. I hope most people find peace in their everyday lives just for the record.

Meant to quote the “why” post too just for the record.

I’m interested only to the extent people care. He has suckered some people here and suspect that’s exactly what he does in real life.
