I made a joke about Marco the other day and he got upset. I always joke with him and he never gets upset. Well, it made me stop and think. Maybe I have been a bully to Marco. Sure he made some mistakes, but we all do. He deserved to be picked on for some of the things but there comes a point where enough is enough. I have a lot going on in my life, I have a disease where I am not sure how long I will be here and I don't want to go knowing that I have an enemy , so that being said, I will not pick on Marco any more. I will stop using him as a punch line. (Arcaico is going to kill me) From the bottom of my heart, I am sorry that I hurt you Marco, But I am a joker, so I will have to find someone else to pick on.... hmmmmmmm....let me see....Mikey! Yes Mikey, he is always here....No.. not Mikey...He will get God after me. Hmmmmm.. I know Shaman!.... No...he will get Mikey after me. I can't pick a woman. I respect them too much and besides, they gang up on you. Anfa is no fun, he just says fuck you and doesn't fight back. Billtvshow isn't around enough.. hmmmm.. well there is....no...well I...... Aw Fuck it! Marco sucks! Wow. That didn't last long. Sorry Marco. Your it.

Well said 2rey but ya still gay

Amen brother!

Life is way too short to be a bully all the time. Pep's do have feelings ya know. Its all fun and games over the internets I know, but it still hurts just as much as if you were doing it in person. You may think its all a joke, but think for a second how you would feel being put in a similar situation. Putting yourself in another persons shoes can humble you. Esp when that person has to hear it day in and day out. From multiple different sides. No one would want that.

Sometimes I think its worse, this banter on the internet, cause we all get this courage sitting behind our keyboards knowing full well that the person on the other side of the screen isn't going to do anything about it 99 times out of 100. Yet in real life, you can either punch the guy in the arm and say "hey! just playing man"! and get a good chuckle out of it. OR you may just get punched in the face. So you choose your words a lot more carefully when you interact face to face. You also don't fester at home thinking about how rude someone is to you all the time, knowing you can't punch that guy in the face.

Sure its still fun to poke fun, and I don't think that should stop. BUT lets try to think a bit more about the other person and how you would feel in the same situation. You know... We're a big family, and as such, we're all going to cry, fight, poke fun, and have our laughs together. That is what makes this community one worth fighting for.

Sorry for the long winded response.
Cheers!
