Machine Gun’s rant over at Yellow & A Realization

They had enough.

Well, I think time to forget about MG. He really created
an insane asylum around here. He’s going to fade out.
Answering him, paying attention to him, only fans his will.
I don’t see his or dmonk114’s posts anymore either. So I’m going
to assume Ed is going to move on and leave Machine Gun & Co.
behind, soon enough. This has been an insane episode. I think
it was like getting mentally ill. Manic and depressed people
can do that to one if you let them. Wow. Have to go away
from this poison. I noticed most of you have begun that process
long ago. Don’t know how I got caught up in the MG madness.
Found the “foe” link and I think that started my retreat. I was on
a college campus yesterday and there was a mentally ill man
walking on the same sidewalk toward me. He was talking to himself
in an angry manner. As I neared he said something at me, as if he
were accusing me of something or as if he were angry at me.
For a tenth of a second I experienced the sensation of taking
offense at his look and gesturing and words at me, but I plain realized
the man was sick. He didn’t have any control. I would have been a fool to engage
him. You forget sometimes, you engage with someone who has
a problem and you’ll share in their craziness. It just hit me.
Some of you already knew something was up. Took me awhile.
